The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support. v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages. website: Add project links to KVM/QEMU driver page website: Add project links to Xen driver page website: Add project links to LXC driver page website: Add project links to OpenVZ driver page website: Add project links to UML driver page website: Add project links to Virtualbox driver page website: Add project links to ESX driver page website: Add project links to VMware driver page
