libvirt obviously needs to support both this new style config, and the old
(<= 3.0.2) style configs. Thus I requested addition of 'xend_config_format'
attribute in the /xend/node SEXPR data from XenD. Christian recently
committed this patch, so we can now support both CDROM style configs in
libvirt. I am attaching a patch to implement this support - basically it
touches xend_internal.c to fix XML->SEXPR conversion, and xml.c to fix
SEXPR->XML conversion. Then this is corresponding additions to the unit
tests to validate the new code, and also validate that I didn't break
existing code.
I am attaching the patches, but I don't intend to commit them to libvirt
just yet because I don't actually have the new 3.0.3 xend running on my
test systems fully yet. If anyone is using 3.0.3 any testing would be
appreciated, otherwise I aim to test this towards end of next week.
Jeremy recently tested this after upgrading Fedora to Xen 3.0.3 codebase
pre-release & verified that HVM cdrom config is handled correctly. Thus
I've committed the patches for new style cdrom config

Dan.
