The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve. This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd. Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory. Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir. Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process, since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users. Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure performance of the startup process quite simply.
