Attached are the args (*_args) and return structures (*_ret) for all the
calls covered by the remote protocol, that is to say everything except
Save, Restore and CoreDump (see previous email).
The only problem area are the upper limits imposed on the lengths of
various strings and arrays. The upper limits seem to be required for
safely decoding messages from untrusted sources. Some of them however
would impose limits on such things as the number of CPUs supported, and
perhaps those limits are too low (or too high)? I don't really have any
experience of the sort of huge machines that people might be running
libvirt on.
Rich.
