[libvirt] [PATCH] Explicitly pass uml_dir argument to user-mode-linux
uml_dir overrides user-mode-linux's default of ~/.uml. This is needed
for a couple of different reasons:
libvirt expects this to default to virGetUserDirectory(geteuid()) +
'/.uml'. However, user-mode-linux actually uses the HOME environment
variable to determine where to look for the uml sockets, but if running
libvirtd under sudo (which I routinely do during development), $HOME is
pointing at my user's homedir, while my euid is 0, so libvirt looks in
/root.
Also (and this was my actual motivation for this patch), if HOME isn't
set at all, user-mode-linux utterly fails. Looking at the code, it seems
it's meant to emit a warning, but alas, it doesn't for some reason.
If running libvirtd from upstart, HOME is not set, so any system using
upstart will need this change.
