I can open an issue on the systemd side pointing to these patches,
but polishing things up to the level of a proper PR is off the table
right now because I simply can't allocate enough time for it. Would
you consider that good enough to move forward with the libvirt
changes?

On the Fedora side, I wouldn't know what forum would be the most
appropriate to get the discussion started. Any pointers?
