portgroups are a way to group logical chunks of settings inside
a <network> object. They are a quite advanced feature that I expect
many few users are using, and the ones that are using it are certainly
advanced enough to edit the XML directly.

This is pretty obscure, and requires a large amount of UI surface
to handle correctly. Users can use the XML editor if they know they

Quoting from that:
"""
virt-convert takes an ovf/ova or vmx file and spits
out libvirt XML. It started as a code drop a long time ago that could
translate back and forth between vmx, ovf, and virt-image, a long dead
appliance format. In 2014 I converted it to do vmx -> libvirt and ovf ->
libvirt which was a CLI breaking change, but I never heard a peep of a
complaint. It doesn't seem to do a particularly thorough job at its
intended goal, I've seen 2-3 bug reports in the past 5 years and
generally it doesn't seem to have any users. Let's kill it. If anyone
has the desire to keep it alive it could live as a separate project
that's a wrapper around virt-install but there's no compelling reason to
keep it in virt-manager.git IMO

This is the old default, where we would try to determine a static
keymap value from host graphics config files, and set that in the
XML.
We haven't defaulted to this for a long time, setting a static keymap
is suboptimal generally, and the file parsing code is not up to date
for modern host config. So let's remove it
The hostkeymap module is now unused, so remove it and all the custom

For a decade, qemu and xen and virt-manager work together to
make setting a manual keymap redundant. Advertising it in the UI does
more harm than good, because users may think they need to specify
one when in the vast majority of cases it will give worse behavior.
With the XML editing UI, users still have a way to do this by hand
if they really know what they are doing.
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
We shouldn't be validating against a static list of keymaps,
instead we should let libvirt or the hypervisor throw and error.
Also the accompanying code is about to be removed.
It's possible this will break command line usage for some users, like
if they were passing keymap=US and depending on our logic to lower()
it for them. I think this should be rare, and IMO it's acceptable to
tell users to just fix their command line, which should work correctly
with older versions too, so it should be a one time fix.

Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
Libvirt is able to figure this out and it will make usage of the CLI
options more user-friendly.
For example if users wants to add a new pcie-root-port to existing VM
they have to figure out the latest controller index and call it like
this:
virt-xml \
--add-device \
--controller pci,model=pcie-root-port,index=$nextIndex \
$VM
After this change it will be simply:
virt-xml \
--add-device \
--controller pci,model=pcie-root-port \
$VM

QEMU version 2.12.1 introduced a performance feature under commit
be7773268d98 ("target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint").
Support for this performance hint was added in libvirt 5.7.0 by commit
cb12c59dac04 ("qemu: support for kvm-hint-dedicated performance hint").
This patch extends virt-install's existing --features option to insert the
appropriate XML into the guest definition if this feature is specified
on the command line.
E.g. --features='kvm.hint-dedicated.state=on' would result
in the following XML:
<features>
...
<kvm>
<hint-dedicated state='on'/>
</kvm>
...
</features>
