Bjoern Walk c7cfcc57d5 virsh: nodedev: ability to filter CCW capabilities 
Now that the node_device driver is aware of CCW devices, let's hook up
virsh so that we can filter them properly.

<h1>Node devices XML format</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a name="NodedevAttributes">Node Device XML</a></h2>
<p>
There are several libvirt functions, all with the
prefix <code>virNodeDevice</code>, which deal with management of
host devices that can be handed to guests via passthrough as
&lt;hostdev&gt; elements
in <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsHostDev">the domain XML</a>.
These devices are represented as a hierarchy, where a device on
a bus has a parent of the bus controller device; the root of the
hierarchy is the node named "computer".
</p>
<p>
When represented in XML, a node device uses the
top-level <code>device</code> element, with the following
elements present according to the type of device:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>name</code></dt>
<dd>The name for this device. The name will be alphanumeric,
with words separated by underscore. For many devices, the
name is just the bus type and address, as in
"pci_0000_00_02_1" or "usb_1_5_3", but some devices are able
to provide more specific names, such as
"net_eth1_00_27_13_6a_fe_00".
</dd>
<dt><code>parent</code></dt>
<dd>If this element is present, it names the parent device (that
is, a controller to which this node belongs).
</dd>
<dt><code>devnode</code></dt>
<dd>This node appears for each associated <code>/dev</code>
special file. A mandatory attribute <code>type</code> specify
the kind of file path, which may be either <code>dev</code> for
the main name, or <code>link</code> for additional symlinks.
</dd>
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
<dd>This node appears for each capability that libvirt
associates with a node. A mandatory
attribute <code>type</code> lists which category the device
belongs to, and controls which further subelements will be
present to describe the node:
<dl>
<dt><code>system</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the overall host. Sub-elements include:
<dl>
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
<dd>If present, a simple text string giving the product
name of the system.</dd>
<dt><code>hardware</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the hardware of the system, including
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
<code>serial</code>, and <code>uuid</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>firmware</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the firmware of the system, including
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
and <code>release_date</code>.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>pci</code></dt>
<dd>Describes a device on the host's PCI bus. Sub-elements
include:
<dl>
<dt><code>domain</code></dt>
<dd>Which domain the device belongs to.</dd>
<dt><code>bus</code></dt>
<dd>Which bus within the domain.</dd>
<dt><code>slot</code></dt>
<dd>Which slot within the bus.</dd>
<dt><code>function</code></dt>
<dd>Which function within the slot.</dd>
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
<dd>Product details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal product
id, and an optional text description of that id.</dd>
<dt><code>vendor</code></dt>
<dd>Vendor details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal vendor
id, and an optional text name of that vendor.</dd>
<dt><code>iommuGroup</code></dt>
<dd>
This optional element describes the "IOMMU group" this
device belongs to. If the element exists, it has a
mandatory <code>number</code> attribute which tells
the group number used for management of the group (all
devices in group "n" will be found in
"/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/n"). It will also have a
list of <code>address</code> subelements, each
containing the PCI address of a device in the same
group. The toplevel device will itself be included in
this list.
</dd>
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
<dd>
This optional element can occur multiple times. If it
exists, it has a mandatory <code>type</code> attribute
which will be set to:
<dl>
<dt><code>physical_function</code></dt>
<dd>
That means there will be a single <code>address</code>
subelement which contains the PCI address of the SRIOV
Physical Function (PF) that is the parent of this device
(and this device is, by implication, an SRIOV Virtual
Function (VF)).
</dd>
<dt><code>virtual_function</code></dt>
<dd>
In this case this device is an SRIOV PF, and the capability
element will have a list of <code>address</code>
subelements, one for each VF on this PF. If the host system
supports reporting it (via the "sriov_maxvfs" file in the
device's sysfs directory) the capability element will also
have an attribute named <code>maxCount</code> which is the
maximum number of SRIOV VFs supported by this device, which
could be higher than the number of VFs that are curently
active <span class="since">since 1.3.0</span>; in this case,
even if there are currently no active VFs the
virtual_functions capabililty will still be shown.
</dd>
<dt><code>pci-bridge</code> or <code>cardbus-bridge</code></dt>
<dd>
This shows merely that the lower 7 bits of PCI header type
have either value of 1 or 2 respectively. Usually this
means such device cannot be used for PCI passthrough.
<span class="since">Since 1.3.3</span>
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>numa</code></dt>
<dd>
This optional element contains information on the PCI device
with respect to NUMA. For example, the optional
<code>node</code> attribute tells which NUMA node is the PCI
device associated with.
</dd>
<dt><code>pci-express</code></dt>
<dd>
This optional element contains information on PCI Express part of
the device. For example, it can contain a child element
<code>link</code> which addresses the PCI Express device's link.
While a device has its own capabilities
(<code>validity='cap'</code>), the actual run time capabilities
are negotiated on the device initialization
(<code>validity='sta'</code>). The <code>link</code> element then
contains three attributes: <code>port</code> which says in which
port is the device plugged in, <code>speed</code> (in
GigaTransfers per second) and <code>width</code> for the number
of lanes used. Since the port can't be negotiated, it's not
exposed in <code>./pci-express/link/[@validity='sta']</code>.
