This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"
and "no".
rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
If you specify the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
...
</disk>
the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
(of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)
NOTE:
- "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
- At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.
