Looks ok aside from

The #ifndef should test against NAME_MAX itself, rather than __linux__

Also, NAME_MAX is intended to be the maximum length of an unqualified
filename, so 14 characters is rather too small. 255 is what Linux has
it defined as, so I'd go for that unless Solaris has a different named
constant for  maximum filename length ?  I know BSD uses MAXNAMLEN,
but NAME_MAX is POSIX

I don't think it really matters one way or the other when we're only
having to worry about a #ifdef choice between 2 platforms. If someone 
ports libvirt to BSD then we can adapt to whichever results in smaller 
code as needed.

Dan.
