*	launch: libvirt: Use <driver name="qemu" type=[format] />.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-3/+99
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We were using format= which was bogus and libvirt was ignoring it and forcing raw format instead. Also in its default configuration libvirt won't do disk format autodetection at all, so we must do it instead.
*	launch: libvirt: You can't set O_CLOEXEC flag using fcntl + F_SETFL.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	And in any case there is no point, since proto.c already sets the SOCK_CLOEXEC flag (using accept4) on this socket. The code now matches the code in launch-appliance.c.
*	launch: libvirt: Use accept4 to set socket flags correctly.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-5/+1

*	launch: libvirt: Add <on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot> to libvirt XML.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-0/+17
\| \| \| \| \|	This causes libvirt to add the qemu -no-reboot option, which reflects existing behaviour.

*	launch: libvirt: Add a hack to detect if KVM is available.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-1/+5
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We need to select the <domain type=...> attribute depending on whether KVM is detected in the libvirt capabilities. This is a hack because it doesn't try to parse the libvirt capabilities XML.
*	launch: libvirt: Use <cpu model="host-model"/> (thanks Dan Berrange).	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-0/+6
\| \| \| \| \|	This ensures maximum performance of the appliance, particularly for things like MD where the guest needs to use optimal SSE instructions.

*	launch: libvirt: Enforce minimum version of libvirt 0.9.13.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-0/+13

*	launch: libvirt: Use snapshot=on instead of <readonly/>.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-23	1	-9/+33
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	For compatibility with the appliance backend, devices added readonly are in fact added writable with snapshots on top. This is necessary because options like 'mount -o ro' usually require write access to the disk (eg. to replay journals).
*	launch: Add libvirt backend.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-22	1	-0/+1052
	Complete the attach-method libvirt backend. This backend uses libvirt to create a transient KVM domain to run the appliance. Note that this still will only work with local libvirt URIs since the <kernel>, <initrd> and appliance links in the libvirt XML refer to local files, and virtio serial only works locally (limitation of libvirt). Remote support will be added later.
