[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 0/6] libxl: add support for qemu base pvusb backend

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

This patch series is meant to be applied on top of Chunyan's series
to support pvusb in libxl.

It is adding support for an alternative pvusb backend "qusb" via qemu.

Changes in V6:
- split patch 1 into 2 patches as requested by Wei Liu
- patch 1: Add comment regarding return values of libxl__need_xenpv_qemu()
  as requested by Wei Liu
- patch 3 (was 2): add Xenstore path documentation as requested by Wei Liu
- patch 4 (was 3): add Xenstore path documentation

Changes in V5:
- added new patch 2 as requested by George Dunlap

Changes in V4:
- dropped patch 5
- patch 1: Return (negative) error value in case of failure, 0 or 1 else
- patch 2: Bail out in case of usbback_is_loaded() error as requested by
  Chun Yan Liu

Changes in V3:
- added new patches 3 and 4 to at least report failure in case no device
  model is running when adding devices to a domain requiring a dm.

Changes in V2:
- patch 1: Return false if libxl__get_domid() fails as requested by
  George Dunlap
- Swapped patches 2 and 3 as former patch 2 has been questioned to make
  sense for 4.7. This will remove an obstacle for former patch 3 to go in.

Juergen Gross (6):
  libxl: handle error from libxl__need_xenpv_qemu() correctly
  libxl: make libxl__need_xenpv_qemu() operate on domain config
  libxl: add query function for backend support by device model
  libxl: add new pvusb backend "qusb" provided by qemu
  libxl: add service function to check whether device model is running
  libxl: check for dynamic device model start required
