Bruce Ashfield 26e2b40b91 xen/x86: fix QA errors
The xen version bump brought in these QA errors:

  ERROR: xen-tools-4.21+stable-r0 do_package: QA Issue: xen-tools: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
    /usr/lib/xen/tests/test_x86_emulator
    /usr/lib/xen/tests/test-cpu-policy
    /usr/lib/xen/tests/test-tsx
  Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install.
  xen-tools: 3 installed and not shipped files. [installed-vs-shipped]
  ERROR: xen-tools-4.21+stable-r0 do_package: Fatal QA errors were found, failing task.
  ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: build/tmp/work/x86-64-v3-poky-linux/xen-tools/4.21+stable/temp/log.do_package.2597669
  ERROR: Task (meta-virtualization/recipes-extended/xen/xen-tools_4.21.bb:do_package) failed with exit code '1'
  NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 4228 tasks of which 4210 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.

We package two of the new files, and delete one host-compiled tool that
isn't used.

meta-virtualization

The meta-virtualization layer is the authoritative resource for virtualization technologies in OpenEmbedded / Yocto built distributions. It provides support or both hypervisor-based virtualization (such as KVM, Xen, and QEMU) and system-level virtualization (Linux containers), along with the host and guest technologies required to build complete solutions ranging from embedded systems to full deep CNCF stack deployments.

The bbappend files for some recipes (e.g. linux-yocto) in this layer need to have 'virtualization' in DISTRO_FEATURES to have effect. To enable them, add in configuration file the following line.

DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " virtualization"

If meta-virtualization is included, but virtualization is not enabled as a distro feature a warning is printed at parse time:

You have included the meta-virtualization layer, but
'virtualization' has not been enabled in your DISTRO_FEATURES. Some bbappend files
may not take effect. See the meta-virtualization README for details on enabling
virtualization support.

If you know what you are doing, this warning can be disabled by setting the following variable in your configuration:

SKIP_META_VIRT_SANITY_CHECK = 1

Depending on your use case, there are other distro features in meta-virtualization that may also be enabled:

  • xen: enables xen functionality in various packages (kernel, libvirt, etc)
  • kvm: enables KVM configurations in the kernel and autoloads modules
  • k8s: enables kubernetes configurations in the kernel, tools and configuration
  • aufs: enables aufs support in docker and linux-yocto
  • x11: enable xen and libvirt functionality related to x11
  • selinux: enables functionality in libvirt and lxc
  • systemd: enable systemd services and unit files (for recipes for support)
  • sysvinit: enable sysvinit scripts (for recipes with support)
  • seccomp: enable seccomp support for packages that have the capability.
