Adapt devel/libvirt for nvmm
Description
With the recent addition of nvmm, it would be interesting to have something that eases the VM lifecycle, like devel/libvirt . This is a feature request to myself to, at least try to, make devel/libvirt usable with nvmm under DragonFly.

- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Added support for a new QMP command 'query-nvmm', based on the already existing 'query-kvm' command.
- This allows libvirt to communicate with the VM and see if the accel method is supported and enabled.
- DeltaPorts commit: https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/commit/8a2cf8882
Test:
- In one terminal:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -display curses -accel nvmm -chardev socket,id=qmp,port=4444,host=localhost,server=on -mon chardev=qmp,mode=control,pretty=on
- In another:
$ telnet localhost 4444
Trying 127.0.0.1...

- File libvirt01.png libvirt01.png added
- % Done changed from 0 to 70
- Preliminary work done, you can run VMs with libvirt and nvmm accelerated!
- It's work in progress, expect unstability

Added the following commits to move towards the goal of being able to use vagrant with qemu/nvmm:

Testing vagrant¶
The Vagrantfile needs this:
config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
libvirt.driver = "nvmm"
end
Once done, testing a Debian image:
devbox:~/temp/vagrant/debian11$ vagrant up
