5276ec712a testUpdateQEMUCaps: Don't leak host cpuData
When preparing qemuCaps for test cases the following is
happening:

qemuTestParseCapabilitiesArch() is called, which calls
virQEMUCapsLoadCache() which in turn calls
virQEMUCapsInitHostCPUModel() which sets qemuCaps->kvmCPU and
qemuCaps->tcgCPU.

But then the code tries to update the capabilities:

testCompareXMLToArgv() calls testUpdateQEMUCaps() which calls
virQEMUCapsInitHostCPUModel() again overwriting previously
allocated memory. The solution is to free host cpuData in
testUpdateQEMUCaps().

879cff55ac qemuxml2argvtest: Don't initialize qemuCaps twice
There's no point in calling testInitQEMUCaps() (which sets
info.qemuCaps) only to overwrite (and leak) it on the very next
line.

Removing the function call renders @gic argument unused therefore
it's removed from the macro (and all its callers).

5b75a4a80d conf: introduce virDomainDefBootOrderPostParse
Move the check for boot elements into a separate function
and remove its dependency on the parser-supplied bootHash table.

Reconstructing the hash table from the domain definition
effectively duplicates the check for duplicate boot order
values, also present in virDomainDeviceBootParseXML.

Now it will also be run on domains created by other means than XML
parsing, since it will be run even for code paths that did not supply
the bootHash table before.

Commit id 'fe2af45b' added output for logical_block_size and

c1a0601deb schema: Fix capability grammar for pagesElem
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572491

Commit id '02129b7c0' added a single pagesElem for slightly
different purposes. One usage was an output for host page size
listing and the other for NUMA supported page sizes. For the
former, only the pages unit and size are formatted, while for
the latter the pages unit, size, and availability data is formatted.

The virt-xml-validate would fail because it expected something
extra in the host page size output. So split up pagesElem a bit
and create pagesHost and pagesNuma for the differences.

Modify some capabilityschemadata output to have the output - even
though the results may not be realistic with respect to the
original incarnation of the data.

b50efe97ad conf: Add VM Generation ID parse/format support
The VM Generation ID is a mechanism to provide a unique 128-bit,
cryptographically random, and integer value identifier known as
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to the guest OS. The value
is used to help notify the guest operating system when the virtual
machine is executed with a different configuration.

This patch adds support for a new "genid" XML element similar to
the "uuid" element. The "genid" element can have two forms "<genid/>"
or "<genid>$GUID</genid>". If the $GUID is not provided, libvirt
will generate one and save it in the XML.

Since adding support for a generated GUID (or UUID like) value to
be displayed modifying the xml2xml test to include virrandommock.so
is necessary since it will generate a "known" value.

f50ad2ff63 tests: Link mocks with libvirt.so
In a lot of our mocks (if not all of them) we use our internal
APIs (e.g. VIR_ALLOC). So far, we're relying on test binary that
links with the mock to drag in libvirt.so. Well, this works only
partially. Firstly, whatever binary we execute from tests will
fail (e.g. as Martin reported on the list ./qemucapsprobe fails
to execute qemu). Secondly, if there's a program that tries to
validate linking (like valgrind is doing) it fails because of
unresolved symbols.

Because of that we have to link our mocks with libvirt.so.

f245a9791c qemu: introduce capability for virtual-css-bridge
Let us introduce the capability QEMU_CAPS_CCW for virtual-css-bridge
and replace QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_CCW with QEMU_CAPS_CCW in code segments
which identify support for ccw devices.

The virtual-css-bridge is part of the ccw support introduced in QEMU 2.7.
The QEMU_CAPS_CCW capability is based on the existence of the QEMU type.

Let us also add the capability QEMU_CAPS_CCW to the tests which
require support for ccw devices.

2c4affd57e qemu: Implement memoryBacking/discard
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1480668

QEMU has this new feature memory-backend-file.discard-data=yes
which is a nifty optimization. Basically, when qemu is quitting
or on memory hotplug it calls munmap() and close() on the file
that is backing the memory. However, this does not mean kernel
won't stop touching that part of memory. It still might. With
this feature enabled we tell kernel: "we don't need this memory
nor data stored in it". This makes kernel drop the memory
immediately without trying to sync memory with the mapped file.

Unfortunately, this cannot be turned on by default because we
can't be sure when users really don't care about what happens to
data after qemu dies. So it has to be opt-in. As usual, there are
three places where one can configure memory attributes. This
patch adds the feature to all of them.
