text to add it (and I'll re-sping this patch) and add the text before
merging this one.

+ </change>
+ <description>
+ The resource monitor has been introduced and it creates the interface
+ for getting the host capability of the resource monitor from the system
+ resource control.
+ The resource monitor takes the role of RDT monitoring groups and could
+ be used to monitor the resource consumption information.

+ Introduce cache monitor (CMT) and memory bandwidth monitor (MBM).
+ For the former (CMT), the host capability is shown like:
+ <host>
+ ...
+ <cache>
+ <bank id='0' level='3' type='both'
size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
+ <control granularity='768' min='1536'
unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
+ </bank>
+ <monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336'
maxMonitors='176'>
+ <feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
+ </monitor>
+ </cache>
+ ...
+ </host>
+
+ For the latter (MBM), the capability is shown like this:
+ <host>
+ ...
+ <memory_bandwidth>
+ <node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
+ <control granularity='10' min ='10'
maxAllocs='4'/>
+ </node>
+ <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
+ <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
+ <feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>

+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The domxml-to-native virsh command accepts either --xml or --domain
+ option followed by a file or domain name respectively, The --domain
+ option is documented as required, which means an argument with no
+ option is treated as --xml. Commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 broke this
+ by making --domain optional and thus an argument with no option was
