The domain XML now understands an attribute named "listenNetwork" in
the <graphics> element, and the network driver has an internal API
that will turn a network name into an IP address, so the final logical
step is to put the glue into the qemu driver such that when it is
starting up a domain, if it finds "listenNetwork" in the XML, it will
call the network driver to get an associated IP address, and tell qemu
to listen for vnc (or spice) on that address rather than the default
(localhost).
The motivation for this is that a large installation may want the
guests' VNC servers listening on physical interfaces rather than
localhost, so that users can connect directly from the outside; this
requires sending qemu the appropriate IP address to listen on. But
this address will of course be different for each host, and if a guest
might be migrated around from one host to another, it's important that
the guest's config not have any information embedded in it that is
specific to one particular host. listenNetwork can solve this problem
in the following manner:
1) on each host, define a libvirt network of the same name,
associated with some interface on that host (for example, a
simple macvtap network: <forward mode='bridge' dev='eth0'/>, or
host bridge network: <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge
name='br0'/>
2) in the <graphics> element of each guest's domain xml, tell vnc to
listen on the network name used in step 1:
<graphics type='vnc' autoport='yes' listenNetwork='example-net'/>
(all the above also applies for graphics type='spice').
Since this is the commit that turns on the new functionality, I've
included the doc changes here.
