What is the second field here?

Are those defined by libxml, or are they from the libvirt code?

12 parameters, wow!

Doesn't seem to be from libvirt code.

Not many. The arrays smell like constant data, that wouldn't be
a Bad Thing being global. Some may be made static, however.

System variables.

I think this was supposed to be a type definition. The variable is
never used.

Those seem to work like "class" definitions, so they are not a Bad
Thing, too.

Not from libvirt code.
