[libvirt] [PATCH] Power Hypervisor Support for libvirt - minimum set of features

[Eduardo Otubo]

Hello all,

This is the initial patch for the driver for IBM Power Hypervisors. The
minimum set of features are now implemented: list, list --all and
dumpxml. Here is the Changeset since last PATCH I sent:

* The URI has changed to: phyp://user@[hmc|ivm]/managed_system. If the
system is a HMC+VIOS based, only an HMC authentication will be required.
Commands will be sent to VIOS trough HMC command line. And if the system
is an IVM based, then just provide the username and password for IVM.

* Since the Power Hypervisor has no information about UUID's, I built a
little database (uuid_db) to store and associate LPAR ID's with UUID
randomly generated by the API.

* The command dumpxml is implemented, but there are some informations
missing. Fetching informations like fstab, os type, uptime, IP addr and
so on, will only be available in a future versions of the HMC system.

* The TODO list is now set to implement life cycle functions.


Thanks in advance,
[]'s
