[PATCH v1 00/24] move more validations to qemu_validate.c

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

Hi,

This is another step following up the work done in [1].

Recapping, the idea is to move any validation that can
be done in parse/define time to qemu_validate.c instead
of let it sit inside a command line build function in
qemu_command.c. I'll again copy/paste the reasoning Cole
Robinson gave for this work back then (see [2] for more
info):

-------
The benefits of moving to validate time is that XML is rejected by
'virsh define' rather than at 'virsh start' time. It also makes it easier
to follow the cli building code, and makes it easier to verify qemu_command.c
test suite code coverage for the important stuff like covering every CLI
option. It's also a good intermediate step for sharing validation with
domain capabilities building, like is done presently for rng models.
-------

Not all validations were moved with these series, but I covered most
of them.


One thing worth noticing is the existence of 'post start' validations,
most of them related to PCI addressing, and other notable cases such as
NUMA nodes and CPU models, that can't be moved to parse time. The reason
is that the QEMU driver will change them during start time.
I contemplated move them to the existing qemuBuildCommandLineValidate(),
but that would remove them from the hotplug path that uses the
qemuBuild*DevStr() functions. I don't have an easy answer on how to handle
these 'post start' validations ATM, so for now they remain in
qemu_command.c.
