Daniel P. Berrangé cd94d891fb docs/manpages: add checklist of problems for SEV attestation
Despite efforts to make the virt-qemu-sev-validate tool friendly, it is
a certainty that almost everyone who tries it will hit false negative
results, getting a failure despite the VM being trustworthy.

Diagnosing these problems is no easy matter, especially for those not
familiar with SEV/SEV-ES in general. This extra docs text attempts to
set out a checklist of items to look at to identify what went wrong.

==============================
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:
