+          The resource monitor has been introduces and it creates the interface

+          resource control.
+          The resource monitor takes the role of RDT monitoring groups and could

+        <description>
+          The domxml-to-native virsh command accepts either --xml or --domain
+          option followed by a file or domain name respectively, The --domain
+          option is documented as required, which means an argument with no
+          option is treated as --xml. Commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 broke this
+          by making --domain optional and thus an argument with no option was
+          treated as --domain.
