This patch series introduces support for qemu commandline passthrough to
the xen driver. ATM it uses the same schema extension as the qemu driver,
but it could be changed to something like
xmlns:xen='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/xen/1.0' if desired. I didn't
see an immediate benefit to that, other than following the pattern used
by qemu, bhyve, and lxc. Using the same namespace and schema could be
a bit confusing to users, but on the other hand it is just qemu under the
covers. Since Xen does not support passing environment vars or adjusting
qemu's capabilities, the parser will flag attempts at setting those as
errors.
The patch to NEWS.rst is just a reminder for me to create a news entry
and will need rebased once 6.6.0 is out.
Thanks in advance for your comments!
Regards,
Jim

g_strdupv is the Glib equivalent, so this patch should not be necessary.

New subject: [PATCH 2/4] Xen: Add support for qemu command-line passthrough
Xen supports passing arbitrary arguments to the QEMU device model via
the 'extra' member of the public libxl_domain_build_info structure.
This patch uses QEMU namespace extensions already in place for the QEMU
driver to map arbitrary arguments to the 'extra' member. Only passthrough
of arguments is supported. Trying to pass environment variables or
capabilities adjustments is not supported and will result in an error.

IIUC the 'qemu' namespace prefix comes from the name of the 'qemu'
driver, not the executable it invokes, so this should use 'libxl' or
something unique.
Thanks for the review! I've changed this to 'xen' and used more glib as you
suggested (old habits are hard to break). V2 of the series has been sent

I had to add a small hack to xlconfigtest.c to set def->ns after
parsing the xl.cfg file to virDomainDef object. The hack could also
be added to xenParseXL in src/libxl/xen_xl.c, where the virDomainDef
object is created. Opinions much welcomed :-).

Support qemu commandline passthrough in the domXML to native config

I had to add a small hack to xlconfigtest.c to set def->ns after
parsing the xl.cfg file to virDomainDef object. The hack could also
be added to xenParseXL in src/libxl/xen_xl.c, where the virDomainDef
object is created. Opinions much welcomed :-).
Yes, it should be filled by whatever is creating the config, not just
before formatting.

Will need rebased once 6.6.0 is released.
