-#####################################################################
-# This script is designed to modify the call to the QEMU emulator
-# to support userspace vhost when starting a guest machine through
-# libvirt with vhost enabled. The steps to enable this are as follows
-# and should be run as root:
-#
-# 1. Place this script in a libvirtd's binary search PATH ($PATH)
-#    A good location would be in the same directory that the QEMU
-#    binary is located
-#
-# 2. Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file
-#    permissions as the QEMU binary
-#
-# 3. Update the VM xml file using "virsh edit VM.xml"
-#
-#    3.a) Set the VM to use the launch script
-#
-#    	Set the emulator path contained in the
-#		<emulator><emulator/> tags
-#
-#    	e.g replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/>
-#        with    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
-#
-#	 3.b) Set the VM's device's to use vhost-net offload
-#
-#		<interface type="network">
-#       	<model type="virtio"/>
-#       	<driver name="vhost"/>
-#		<interface/>
-#
-# 4. Enable libvirt to access our userpace device file by adding it to
-#    controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps
-#
-#   4.a) In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add/edit the following lines:
-#         1) cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ]
-#		  2) clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
-#         3) user = "root"
-#         4) group = "root"
-#         5) cgroup_device_acl = [
-#                "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
-#                "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
-#                "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
-#                "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
-#                "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
-#            ]
-#
-#   4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
-#
-#   4.c) Mount cgroup device controller
-#        "mkdir /dev/cgroup"
-#        "mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices"
-#
-#   4.d) Set hugetlbfs_mount variable - ( Optional )
-#        VMs using userspace vhost must use hugepage backed
-#        memory. This can be enabled in the libvirt XML
-#        config by adding a memory backing section to the
-#        XML config e.g.
-#             <memoryBacking>
-#             <hugepages/>
-#             </memoryBacking>
-#        This memory backing section should be added after the
-#        <memory> and <currentMemory> sections. This will add
-#        flags "-mem-prealloc -mem-path <path>" to the QEMU
-#        command line. The hugetlbfs_mount variable can be used
-#        to override the default <path> passed through by libvirt.
-#
-#        if "-mem-prealloc" or "-mem-path <path>" are not passed
-#        through and a vhost device is detected then these options will
-#        be automatically added by this script. This script will detect
-#        the system hugetlbfs mount point to be used for <path>. The
-#        default <path> for this script can be overidden by the
-#        hugetlbfs_dir variable in the configuration section of this script.
-#
-#
-#   4.e) Restart the libvirtd system process
-#        e.g. on Fedora "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
-#
-#
-#   4.f) Edit the Configuration Parameters section of this script
-#        to point to the correct emulator location and set any
-#        addition options
-#
-# The script modifies the libvirtd Qemu call by modifying/adding
-# options based on the configuration parameters below.
-# NOTE:
-#     emul_path and us_vhost_path must be set
-#     All other parameters are optional

-# Configuration Parameters
-#############################################
-#Path to QEMU binary
-emul_path = "/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64"

-#Path to userspace vhost device file
-# This filename should match the --dev-basename --dev-index parameters of

-# if the sample app lauch command is:
