[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] qemu: support setting device's boot order when VM is running

[Wang Rui]

QEMU supported to set device's boot index online recently(since QEMU 2.2.0).
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-10/msg00879.html

The QMP "qom-set" is available for setting boot index. qom-set's example is as follows:
{
    .name       = "qom-set",
    .args_type  = "path:s,property:s,value:q",
    .mhandler.cmd_new = qmp_qom_set,
}
(qemu) qom-set nic1 bootindex 3
(qemu) qom-set nic1 bootindex -1
(qemu) qom-set scsi0-0-0-0 bootindex 2
Setting boot index to -1 means cancel it.

We can attach/update a device and set it's boot order when VM is running. The boot
order will take effect immediately(after guest rebooting). For example, we can use
'virsh update-device' to change an interface's boot order. The xml is specified as
below.
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:2e:d4:3d'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <target dev='tap4f2bce78-5b'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver queues='4'/>
      <boot order='2'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
If the 'boot order' is not specified in the xml, that means canceling its boot order.

Wang Rui (8):
  qemu: add a new qemuMonitorSetBootIndex() method to set device's
    bootorder
  qemu: support attachment of net device with boot index
  conf: check boot order which is used by itself
  qemu: a code movement
  qemu: support attachment of disk device with boot index
  conf: add compatiblity check for boot index when updating device
  qemu: support updating interface with boot index
  qemu: support updating disk with boot index
