Currently no command can be sent to a qemu process while another job is
active. This patch adds support for signaling long-running jobs (such as
migration) so that other threads may request predefined operations to be
done during such jobs. Two signals are defined so far:
- QEMU_JOB_SIGNAL_CANCEL
- QEMU_JOB_SIGNAL_SUSPEND
The first one is used by qemuDomainAbortJob.
The second one is used by qemudDomainSuspend for suspending a domain
during migration, which allows for changing live migration into offline
migration. However, there is a small issue in the way qemudDomainSuspend
is currently implemented for migrating domains. The API calls returns
immediately after signaling migration job which means it is asynchronous
in this specific case.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
