> Now that drivers are using a private domain object state blob,

> The code for serializing vCPU PIDs and the monitor device
> config can now move out of domain_conf.c and into the
> qemu_driver.c where they belong.
>
> * src/conf/capabilities.h: Add callbacks for serializing private
>  state to/from XML
> * src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Remove the
>  monitor, monitor_chr, monitorWatch, nvcpupids and vcpupids
>  fields from virDomainObjPtr. Remove code that serialized
>  those fields
> * src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virXPathBoolean
> * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Add callbacks for serializing monitor
>  and vcpupid data to/from XML
> * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Pass monitor
>  char device config into qemuMonitorOpen directly.

ACK.
