Actually IMHO "SetDefTransient" in qemudStartVMDemon should be removed,
as Eric said in the comment of v1.

However, this feature has been requested [1] - how easy will it be to
add that support after this patch is applied?

It's not reasonable to set the def transient regardless of if we want
to do persistent changes or not, even if we won't support the persistent
changes, we just need to set the def as transient only in the
"update/attach/detach/", and "setvcpus" functions, but not thoroughly
set the def as transient when domain start.

If this reason is fine, I'd like make another patch to remove the
"SetDefTransient" in qemudStartVMDaemon.

Thanks for the review.
