I'd realize this in a different way.

The virConnectDriver struct has a localOnly flag that is used to
indicate whether a connection driver permits a server in the URI. Then
virConnectOpenInternal uses this flag during its driver auto-probing
phase.

I suggest expanding this concept and adding a remoteOnly flag to the
virConnectDriver struct. Instead of checking the URI server part in
the driver's own open function let virConnectOpenInternal do this
check based on the remoteOnly flag.
