I'm not sure that this is such a good idea, as it is encoding policy into
libvirt.  There have been other requests for being able to set the priorities of
certain domains, so it might make sense to have a more generic "priority"
concept that could be set by the user.  Then the user would specify how
important a particular task is, and we wouldn't be putting any policy into
libvirt itself.
