I don't think it is right to link to libvirt.la here or with other
driver modules.

The libvirtd daemon links to libvirt.la already, and is built such
that all exported symbols are available to modules that are dlopen()d
Thus it should be sufficient to add symbols to libvirt_private.syms 
and not link to libvirt.la in driver modules.

It might still be neccessary to link to libgnu.la because that is
statically linked into libvirtd and thus only gets symbols that
libvirtd needs. The modules might need further symbols from libgnu.la
so its reasonable to link to it directly.
