This patch extends the libvirtd configuration file to allow various thread
related parameters to be tuned. It introduces a limit on the number of
client connections allowed over TCP socket to prevent DOS attacks on the
machine resources. It also adds a min/max worker thread pool size for
handling RPC calls.
