Two use cases have emerged semi-recently which both require the libvirt driver to be able to invoke libvirt's virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() API: https://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virConnectGetDomainCapabilities and parse the results: - Automatic detection of AMD compute hosts which are capable of providing SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) - Gracefully handling different QEMU machine types for x86 hosts So lay the foundation for these use cases by adding a new get_domain_capabilities() method to nova.virt.libvirt.host.Host, along with new subclasses of LibvirtConfigObject for parsing the XML returned from libvirt, and corresponding tests.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
