[virt-tools-list] [PATCH v2 0/6] virtinst: add <vmcoreinfo/> feature support

[marcandre.lureau at redhat.com]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau at redhat.com>

Hi,

The <vmcoreinfo> feature allows a guest to provide debug details when
producing dump. It's useful in particular for Linux guests with KASLR
enabled, as otherwise the dump are difficult to analyze.

This patch set adds virt-install support for vmcoreinfo domain
feature. Whenever the host libvirt/qemu is recent enough, and the VM
is x86 or arm-virt, we can assume <vmcoreinfo/> is supported and
enable it by default (unless --feature vmcoreinfo=on/off is given, or
changed via API)

Marc-André Lureau (6):
  tests/virtconv: ignore skip exceptions
  connection: support checking for a list of features
  virtinst: add <vmcoreinfo/> feature
  virtinst/support: add SUPPORT_CONN_VMCOREINFO check
  tests: add xmlparse/change vmcoreinfo test
  virtinst: add <vmcoreinfo/> by default on x86 & arm-virt
