This is rework of the Controller patch series submitted by Xu Wang. I have built upon the constructs put in place by Xu with respect to reading and writing the XML, but for the remainder of the code I changed where the virtual controller lives. Xu's patches made a Controller RASD which had some issues regarding associations with other devices and pools. Rather than go with a RASD model, I have chosen to make a KVM_Controller virtual device to mimic a CIM_Controller device. This solution keeps things at a lower level and has been able to pass the cimtest as well as the update a defined domain with a changed value test. This second test is what fails for RHEL7. As it turns out, it seems as long as a 'pci' device with model 'pci-root' is created, then things seem to work. The code relies on the previous patch code Xu created to read/write the XML file with some adjustments. Perhaps the only controversial patch (for me at least) is 6/6. I figured that after we've read everything and just before we go to create or update the guest that we need to make sure that at least the 'pci' device with model 'pci-root' exists. This is similar to the add_default_devs() code, except that it's run after all that code prior to any add or update of the guest just before the "system_to_xml()" call is made. I figure this is the last gasp to ensure that at least the 'pci' device is there which seems to be used by a number of "silently added" libvirt devices.
