Thomas Huth 2f5d8ffebe qemu: Do not silently allow non-available timers on non-x86 systems
libvirt currently silently allows <timer name="kvmclock"/> and some
other timer tags in the guest XML definition for timers that do not
exist on non-x86 systems. We should not silently ignore these tags
since the users might not get what they expected otherwise.
Note: The error is only generated if the timer is marked with
present="yes" - otherwise we would suddenly refuse XML definitions
that worked without problems before.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
