ba7f98126f conf: Introduce memory allocation threads
Since its v5.0.0 release QEMU is capable of specifying number of
threads used to allocate memory. It defaults to 1, which may be
too low for humongous guests with gigantic pages.

In general, on QEMU cmd line level it is possible to use
different number of threads per each memory-backend-* object, in
practical terms it's not useful. Therefore, use <memoryBacking/>
to set guest wide value and let all memory devices 'inherit' it,
silently. IOW, don't introduce per device knob because that would
only complicate things for a little or no benefit.

ee12bd7b8a qemuxml2(argv|xml)test: Unify usage of DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST
The qemuxml2argv invocation of some tests used DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST while
the qemuxml2xmltest invocation uses fake caps. Unify them on
DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST.

c6d7b9a261 qemu: Don't use memory-backend-memfd for NVDIMMs
If guest is configured to use memfd then the function that build
memory-backend-* part of command line will put
memory-backend-memfd, always. Even for NVDIMMs. This is not
correct, because NVDIMMs need a backing path (usually to a real
host NVDIMM device). Therefore, regardless of memfd being
requested, we have to stick with memory-backend-file.

e88367095f qemu: populate <audio> element with default config
Currently the QEMU driver secretly sets the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable

 - VNC - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set
 - SPICE - always set to "spice"
 - SDL - always passthrough host env
 - No graphics - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set

The setting of the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable is done in the code which
configures graphics.

If no <audio> element is present, we now auto-populate <audio> elements
to reflect this historical default config. This avoids need to set audio
env when processing graphics.

9517890f7c tests: qemuxml2argv: Use proper replacement for 'pc-i440fx-wily' machine
This machine type comes from downstream ubuntu 15.10. Replace it with a
somewhat equivalent qemu-2.3 machine type as we do have test data for
that.

The change allows the CPU code to pick a proper default CPU in the
'-latest' cases.

fbf27730a3 conf: add support for specifying CPU "dies" parameter
Recently CPU hardware vendors have started to support a new structure
inside the CPU package topology known as a "die". Thus the hierarchy
is now:

  sockets > dies > cores > threads

This adds support for "dies" in the XML parser, with the value
defaulting to 1 if not specified for backwards compatibility.

For example a system with 64 logical CPUs might report

   <topology sockets="4" dies="2" cores="4" threads="2"/>

59a22be864 qemuxml2xmltest: Add memfd tests
Somehow, these were not tested. Use symlinks to point expected
output back to the input. This way we can also fix some
discrepancies in the input XMLs.

7086c835b6 qemuxml2argvdata: Drop useless spaces at the beginning of lines
There are three test XMLs that have useless spaces at the
beginning of each line. I intend to add these to qemuxml2xmltest
and make xmlout a symlink to the original XML. In order to do
that the XMLs must look better than they do now.

24b74d187c qemu: add memfd source type
Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).

A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.

The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.
