Kristina Hanicova e5eb64e9fd qemu_hotplug: Do not allow absent values in rom settings
If there are absent values in an already existing element
specifying rom settings, we simply use the old ones. This
behaviour is not desired, as users might think that deleting the
element from XML would delete the setting (because the hotplug
succeeds) - which does not happen. Because of that, we should not
accept an interface without elements that cannot be changed.

Therefore, we should not allow absent values for already existing
rom setting during hotplug.

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