This is a 3rd version of patches [1].
Diff to v2 includes Daniel's review and some other improvements.
The aim of these patches is to mark CDROM and floppy optional,
thus they might get dropped during migration, domain startup,
restore, etc. The granularity is set on disk level, so user
can decide which cd-roms are important and which not.
There are 3 levels of optionality:
- mandatory - fail if missing for any reason (the default)
- requisite - fail if missing on boot up, drop if missing on
migrate/restore/revert
- optional - drop if missing at any start attempt.
To assign a disk one of these, just append 'on_missing' attribute
to its <source>.
If a domain is then eventually started (migrated, restored, whatever),
we check for source path being accessible (currently only qemu driver
is supported) from hypervisor's POV. This is done by virFileAccessibleAs()
function. Currently, only uid+gid are considered. Ideally, this
should be extended to SElinux labeling and cgroups.
