| Doc Text: |
This update introduces the ability to pass an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) table containing system-licensed internal code (SLIC) information to a guest. To do so, add the following element to the <os> section of the guest's domain XML file, where PATHNAME is the full path name of the ACPI table file:
<acpi>
<table type='slic'>PATHNAME</table>
</acpi>
As a result, if the guest's OS previously required reactivation due to missing SLIC information (such as Microsoft Windows does), it will now be properly activated.

1.reproduce the bug
version:
libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.22.x86_64
steps:
1)add the following info into the guest xml
<acpi>
<table type='slic'>/opt/slic.dat</table>
</acpi>
# virsh edit test
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
Extra element os in interleave

Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]:
2.verify the bug
version:
libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.22.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-327.42.1.el7.x86_64
steps:
1).in the host,look at the slic info
[root@localhost ~]# hexdump /root/slic.dat -C
00000000 53 4c 49 43 24 00 00 00 01 3a 41 42 52 41 43 41 |SLIC$....:ABRACA|

2).start a guest with the xml:
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0'>hvm</type>
<acpi>
<table type='slic'>/opt/slic.dat</table>
</acpi>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
3).In the guest,run "acpidump"
#acpidump
...
