[libvirt] [PATCH 00/12] introduce locking into every driver

As part of the proposal to introduce an embedded driver feature, we
decided we ought to have each driver acquire a lock against the virtual
root it is configured to use. This will prevent two apps from running an
embedded driver with the same root.

It turns out that this will also be useful for the per-driver split
daemons work I am working on. In that case libvirtd will exist as a
monolithic daemon running all drivers, and we'll also have per-driver
daemons like virtqemud, virtnetworkd, etc. It is only valid to run in
one setup on the host. ie you must choose libvirtd, or choose per-driver
daemons, never both.

The per-driver locking will provide very useful protection against
mistakes in this respect.

Since the locking is functionally independant of both patch series, I'm
sending it now.

  qemu: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  secrets: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  network: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  storage: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  nodedev: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  interface: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  nwfilter: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  libxl: remove obsolete check for xend during driver startup
  libxl: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  lxc: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  vz: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
  bhyve: acquire a pidfile in the driver root directory
