[libvirt] [PATCHv4 0/4] VMX: CD-ROM handling improvements

A user came into #virt the other day and was trying to get libvirtd
to work with VMware Fusion 5, which is basically the Mac OS X version of
VMware Workstation. In helping him out I noticed a few limitations of our
VMX parser so I've added support through this patchset. I don't personally
have access or own VMware's product.

v4:
* Half the patchset has been merged at this point
* Add back 'auto detect' support via <source startupPolicy='optional'/>
* Made device='lun' match device='cdrom'
* Patch 1 & 2 are new to the series

v3:
* Dropped 'auto detect' support from series as it needs more work based on
  feedback
* Added patch to combine virVMXFormatHardDisk and virVMXFormatCDROM into
  one function.
* Converted to <disk type='block' device='lun'> instead of adding a
  <driver> element to better match the behavior available via QEMU.

v2:
* Added additional test cases and fixed issues that arose from those

*** BLURB HERE ***

Doug Goldstein (4):
  Allow LUN type disks to have no source
  Allow <source> for type=block to have no dev
  VMX: Add support for 'auto detect' fileNames
  VMX: Add a VMWare Fusion 5 configuration for tests
