Problem is that virExec closes only the file descriptors it is using,
which means it will close the file descriptors for any nontrivial
logging handlers. I could add some internal logging API to get the
relevant fds and keep them from being closed, but not sure if we
necessarily want to preserve those for a daemonized process?
