The libvirtd daemon has some support for systemd socket activation
from:

    daemon: support passing FDs from the calling process

    First FD is the RW unix socket to listen on, second one (if
    applicable) is the RO unix socket.

This was originally intended for use by the libvirt client when doing
auto-spawning of libvirtd, but we later deleted that client side code
in

    virNetSocketNewConnectUNIX: Use flocks when spawning a daemon

We never added systemd socket units before as we need libvirtd to start
on boot to perform autostart.

It was recently pointed out by Lennart that these two features are not
mutually exclusive though. Libvirtd can be set to start on boot, and
also have socket unit files.

The idea is that we start libvirtd on boot, perform autostart, and then
libvirtd can exit if nothing is running. The socket unit files are then
there to start it again when a mgmt app connects.

This series implements that strategy. In doing so the current socket
activation support was rewritten to be more flexible, able to cope with
the admin socket and the TCP/TLS sockets, all passed in any order.

NB, I don't believe I have got the RPM upgrade procedure right yet. As
there are alot of scenario to test for upgrades, I need more validation
of that. The series is long enough now though, that it would benefit
from code review already

This socket activation is also going to be important when we split out
the daemons, as we will use the same libvirtd codebase for these new
daemons, simply compiled with different options.

Daniel P. Berrangé (23):
  locking,logging: put a strong dep from admin socket to main socket
  util: add helper API for getting UNIX path from socket address
  rpc: add helper API for getting UNIX path from socket object
  util: add VIR_AUTOSTRUCT for directly calling a struct free function
  util: add API for resolving socket service names
  util: add APIs for facilitating use of systemd activation FDs
  rpc: ensure all sockets bind to same port when service is NULL
  rpc: refactor RPC service constructors to share more code
  rpc: allow creating RPC service from an array of FDs
  rpc: avoid unlinking sockets passed in from systemd
  rpc: add helper APIs for adding services with systemd activation
  rpc: add API for checking whether an auth scheme is in use on a server
  remote: simplify libvirtd code for deciding if SASL auth is needed
  remote: fix handling of systemd activation wrt socket ordering
  rpc: remove unused API for creating services from FDs
  remote: add systemd socket units for UNIX/TCP sockets
  remote: make system libvirtd exit when idle via timeout
  remote: update config files to note usage wrt systemd socket
    activation
  util: remove code spawning with systemd activation env vars
  locking: convert lock daemon to use systemd activation APIs
  logging: convert log daemon to use systemd activation APIs
  util: move code for getting listen FDs into systemd module
  util: remove unused helper for getting UNIX socket path
