Remember the next-toy use file descriptor set in the QEMU
private domain structure.
Upon libvirt restart determine the maximum file descriptor
set used in the Device Info XML and remember the
next-to-use file descriptor set in the QEMU private domain
structure.

Upon termination of a domain, reset the next-to-use file
descriptor set to its initial value '1'.

I really don't like the fact that we're modifying the virDomainDef
structs, which are intended to hold static config description, to
also hold QEMU specific dynamic state. We did this in the past
before we had the per-driver 'privateData' associated with
virDomainObjPtr instances.
In these patches we are storing the fdset that's in use by a
particular device in the virDomainDeviceInfo structure and are
persisting that fdset number next to the device's alias into XML
written into /var/run/libvirt/qemu to be able to restore it upon
libvirt restart. Now we would either need a similar per-device
structure in parallel to those virDomainDeviceInfo structures or
connect a QEMU private data structure to that virDomainDeviceInfo
structure for storing the dynamic data and to keep reference back to
the device. Not sure what's the best path ...
Just have a hashtable mapping device alias names -> fd set numbers
in the qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr, and write that out in the QEMU
private XML. There's no need to directly mirror the structs.


you agree to this XML ?

  <fdsets>
    <entry alias='ide0-0-0' fdset='1'/>
    <entry alias='serial0' fdset='2'/>
    <entry alias='serial1' fdset='3'/>
  </fdsets>
