[Libvir] Patch to attach/detach virtual devices on a running domain

[michel.ponceau at bull.net]

I cannot see the bug in virParseXMLDevice.  The 'error' label sequence is 
ended by 'goto cleanup', and 'cleanup' sequence calls xmlFreeDoc(xml). Is 
it not the way to free the xmlDocPtr object 'xml'?
Maybe I should reverse the sequence order to be more clear, as follows:
+    goto cleanup;
+error:
+    free(buf.content);
+    buf.content = NULL;
+cleanup:
+    if (xml != NULL)
+        xmlFreeDoc(xml);
+    return buf.content;

This looks good to me - only one small bug I see - in the 
virParseXMLDevice
function there is a memory leak. If you take 'goto errror' path through
the function, then the xmlDocPtr object will never be free'd. Thanks for
taking the time to implement all this !

Regards,
Dan.
