c4466179f4 conf: Add rom.enabled attribute for PCI devices
The attribute can be used to disable ROM loading completely
for a device.

This might be needed because, even when the guest is configured
such that the PCI ROM will not be loaded in the PCI BAR, some
hypervisors (eg. QEMU) might still make it available to the
guest in a form (eg. fw_cfg) that some firmwares (eg. SeaBIOS)
will consume, thus not achieving the desired result.

898edc9617 conf: Prefer pcie-to-pci-bridge to dmi-to-pci-bridge
Both pcie-to-pci-bridge and dmi-to-pci-bridge can be used to
create a traditional PCI topology in a pure PCIe guest such as
those using the x86_64/q35 or aarch64/virt machine type;
however, the former should be preferred, as it doesn't need to
obey limitation of real hardware and is completely
architecture-agnostic.

However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as

68eed56b2d conf: add support for setting OEM strings SMBIOS data fields
The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.

As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like

    <oemStrings>
      <entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
      <entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
    </oemStrings>

use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

7e4177a35b qemu: add vmcoreinfo support
Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.

In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.

Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.

The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).

74119a03f1 numa: describe siblings distances within cells
Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>
XML description.

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='1' cpus='4-7' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='31'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='2' cpus='8-11' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      <cell id='3' cpus='12-15' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='10'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s).  For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.

Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'.  A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself.  A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.

When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.

If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

Since we've allowed the <auth> to be a child of <disk>, we'll need

whether to format as child of <disk> or <source>. For the argv2xml
parsing, let's format under <source> as a preference. Do not allow

Add tests to validate that if the <auth> was found in <source>, then
the resulting xml2xml and xml2arg works just fine.  The two new .args
file are exact copies of the non "-source" version of the file.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine

Since this is the same feature for different device it should be
presented in XML the same way.

e6a7fa2670 docs: Add schema and docs for Veritas HyperScale (VxHS)
Alter the schema to allow a VxHS block device. Sample XML is:

  <disk type='network' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
    <source protocol='vxhs' name='eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251'>
      <host name='192.168.0.1' port='9999'/>
    </source>
    <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
    <serial>eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251</serial>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
  </disk>

Update the html docs to describe the capability for VxHS.

Alter the qemuxml2xmltest to validate the formatting.

d1dbb30782 conf: Allow usernet to have an address
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075520

Currently, all that users can specify for an interface type of
'user' is the common attributes: PCI address, NIC model (and
that's basically it). However, some need to configure other
address range than the default one.

4775ca27e9 docs: Remove unnecessary <auth> example for iscsi disk type='volume'
Alter the example to remove the <auth> from:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:1' mode='host'/>
    <auth username='myuser'>
      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

and

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:2' mode='direct'/>
    <auth username='myuser'>
      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...
