[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] virDomainCreateWithFlags API addition

[Eric Blake]

>> If desired, a later patch can add hooks

Here we go - my first attempt at an API addition patch.  More comments
in some of the various patches.  Also, note that I'm including a 6/5
for any discussion, but which should not be considered part of the
series to be pushed.

Eric Blake (6):
  libvirt: introduce domainCreateWithFlags API
  remote: protocol implementation for virDomainCreateWithFlags
  drivers: add virDomainCreateWithFlags if virDomainCreate exists
  qemu: support starting persistent domain paused
  virsh: add start --paused support
  [DON'T APPLY] remote: optimize remoteDomainCreate
