I don't think the size of libvirt.c is much of a problem. There is
not much interesting code in that file - its basically just stubs
implementing the public API, and then immediately calling through
into the internal drivers where the real interesting code is.

The QEMU vl.c files isn't a good comparison point - its contains
piles of complex unrelated code serving all sorts of different
functions - vl.c is like mixing up libvirt.c & 5 other random
files from src/ all in one
