[Bug 553737] [NEW] [lucid] merge libvirt to 0.7.7

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

For LTS support and tons of bugfixes, it would be good to merge libvirt
0.7.7 to Lucid. This is a placeholder bug and is being discussed and
evaluated by the server team (in ubuntu-server mailing list),
particularly Dustin Kirkland.

There are mainly two problems so far:
1. scsi attach is broken due to moving to device_add. These changes could be backed out with some work or upstream could patch it soon and we cherrypick it. This is a blocker because it breaks eucalyptus volume attachment.

2. 0.7.7 uses a stacked security driver which means the DAC security
driver is on by default and changes the permissions of the files it uses
to that of the user running qemu. On Ubuntu this is root. This may be
unexpected behavior for people who store images outside of /var/lib.
This only happens with qemu:///system.

'2' we can live with, but '1' is a blocker.
