I can't remember why I needed those originally - it was probably for
the TLS / TCP stuff I ripped out. Anyway I removed these all and it
still compiled just fine.

Done.

Killed. Its obsolete and easily re-added if ever needed again/

Yeah, we can definitely do with a couple of convenince functions for
extracting data from the XML in libvirt - we basically only ever look
for an int or char * in libvirt.

A hell of a lot :-)

If we're going to do that, we should also check ownership when initially
loading the domains at startup. I'll add that to the future list of things
todo.

Yes, the 'type' can be one of 'qemu' or 'kqemu' or 'kvm'.

It certainly lends itself to doing that. All these functions just de-marshall
the data from the wire & then call the real functions to actual work. This stuff
may well need to change after Rich Jones' libvirtd stuff is ready, so I think
we should wait before thinking about generalizing this bit.

Its very nice - KVM support basically comes down to spawing

    /usr/bin/qemu-kvm

Instead of

    /usr/bin/qemu

Based on the top level 'type' attribute.

When KVM bits merge in mainline QEMU it'll be even simpler :-) The benefit 
of working with/close to upstream instead of forking it Xen style...
