docs: clean-up the xenpvh documentation
I noticed the code blocks where not rendering properly so thought I'd better fix things up. So: - Use better title for the machine type - Explain why Xen is a little different - Add a proper anchor to the tpm-device link - add newline so code block properly renders - add some indentation to make continuation clearer Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-ID: <20231207130623.360473-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

=========================================
-This machine creates a IOREQ server to register/connect with Xen Hypervisor.
-When TPM is enabled, this machine also creates a tpm-tis-device at a user input
-tpm base address, adds a TPM emulator and connects to a swtpm application
-running on host machine via chardev socket. This enables xenpvh to support TPM
-functionalities for a guest domain.
+This machine is a little unusual compared to others as QEMU just acts
+as an IOREQ server to register/connect with Xen Hypervisor. Control of
+the VMs themselves is left to the Xen tooling.
-More information about TPM use and installing swtpm linux application can be
-found at: docs/specs/tpm.rst.

Example for starting swtpm on host machine:
+
.. code-block:: console
mkdir /tmp/vtpm2
swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/vtpm2 \
- --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/vtpm2/swtpm-sock &
+ --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/vtpm2/swtpm-sock &
Sample QEMU xenpvh commands for running and connecting with Xen:
+

In above QEMU command, last two lines are for connecting xenpvh QEMU to swtpm
via chardev socket.
