[PATCH for 6.6.0] NEWS: Document changes for upcoming release
In contrast with other releases, this time NEWS is pretty much
updated. I've identified only a couple of features/bug fixes
worth mentioning that were not mentioned yet.

+ * conf: add control over COW for storage pool directories

+ The storage pool code now attempts to disable COW by default on btrfs, but
+ management applications may wish to override this behaviour. This is now
+ possible via new ``cow`` element.

The event can now be used also for block copy destinations by using the

+ * qemu: consider available CPUs in ``vcpupin/emulatorpin`` output
+
+ This patch changes the default bitmap of ``vcpupin`` and ``emulatorpin``,
+ in the case of domains with static vcpu placement, all available CPUs
+ instead of all possible CPUs are returned making these APIs consistent with
+ the behavior of ``vcpuinfo``.

Starting from libvirt-6.5 an active layer block commit or a block copy could

+ * qemu: Don't change ownership of restore file
+
+ When restoring a domain from a file, Libvirt no longer changes its ownership.
+
+ * qemu: Set SPAPR TPM default to 2.0 and prevent 1.2 choice
+
+ The firmware (SLOF) on QEMU for ppc64 does not support TPM 1.2, so prevent
+ the choice of TPM 1.2 when the SPAPR device model is chosen and use a
+ default of '2.0' (TPM 2) for the backend.

+ * qemu: Do not set ``//cpu/@migratable`` for running domains
+
+ Libvirt release of 6.4.0 started to fill the default value for
+ ``//cpu/@migratable`` attribute according to QEMU support. However, active
+ domains either have the migratable attribute already set or they were
+ started with older Libvirt which doesn't support the attribute.
