  Probably best done with defines than enums, as you want to be able to compose
them the fact it comes from a type doesn't help, and I have learnt the hard way
that enums sucks in C in general.

 I would rather use , int features) where you OR the features, allows
to know in one call if you get what you want or not.

  Actually you probably want a combination of those not just one of them
so again an int with OR'ed values there, I think.

  features and will be perfect :-)

  I would plural and use the macro to hide an OR. You could return
the set of features actually supported in the set, or the opposite
which could be easier but less readable

    ret = __virDrvSupportsFeature(conn, A | B | C);
    if (ret != 0) {
        detail for each bit the missing problem.
    }

  Doing multiple features check remotely would potentially be faster but
changes a bit those files.
