[Xen-devel] [XEN][RFC PATCH V2 12/17] xl: Add interface to handle qemu disaggregation

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch modifies libxl interface for qemu disaggregation.
For the moment, due to some dependencies between devices, we
can't let the user choose which QEMU emulate a device.

Moreoever this patch adds an "id" field to nic interface.
It will be used in config file to specify which QEMU handle
the network card.

A possible disaggregation is:
    - UI: Emulate graphic card, USB, keyboard, mouse, default devices
    (PIIX4, root bridge, ...)
    - IDE: Emulate disk
    - Serial: Emulate serial port
    - Audio: Emulate audio card
    - Net: Emulate one or more network cards, multiple QEMU can emulate
    different card. The emulated card is specified with its nic ID.
