[libvirt] [PATCHv4 0/3] Add support for file memorybacking

Hi,
we would like to introduce 3 new elements source,access and allocation in memoryBacking element.
For now it was made for numa topology.

<memoryBacking>
     <source type="file|anonymous"/>
     <access mode="shared|private"/>
     <allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/>
</memoryBacking>

If allocation is immediate then -mem-prealloc should be added to the qemu commanline.
If source is file then
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=*lib dir path* -numa node,memdev=mem Will be added to the qemu commandline

If access is shared then the "share=on" parameter will be added to the memory-backend-file e.g.
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu,share=on

The access mode can be overriden by specifying token memAccess in numa cell.

The test cpu-numa-memshared was removed, because behaviour was changed and is not needed anymore

Jaroslav Safka (3):
  qemu,conf: Rename virNumaMemAccess to virDomainMemoryAccess
  conf: Add new xml elements for file memorybacking support
  qemu: Add args generation for file memory backing
