Currently the QEMU processes inherit their core dump rlimit from libvirtd, which is really suboptimal. This change allows their limit to be directly controller from qemu.conf instead.

Changed in v2:
- Allow use of string "unlimited"

This should be expanded to allow "unlimited" as well.
Opps, yes.

This is not initialized anywhere, effectively making the limit default to 0 IIUC.
Yes, that's correct as per the qemu.conf docs - we don't allow core dumps by default, since they can be absolutely massive and so have a significant impact on the host OS in terms of time & I/O bandwidth required to dump the guest, as well as disk space usage. So core dumps are an opt-in thing.
I must've missed the place where we forbade it then.
QEMU will just inherit default limits from libvirtd, and libvirtd will get a core file size of 0 from systemd unless you customize the systemd unit file.
Oh, systemd world strikes again =) OK, then I agree that 0 as the default is fine.
