I think you might want to be a little more flexible with this.  I see
where you would want 4 ways of doing this.

Dynamic with  /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/virtual_domain_context
Dynamic with alternate TYPE, Meaning I could specify
system_u:system_r:svirt_apache_t:s0 and then libvirt would select a MCS
label for this context and launch
system_u:system_r:svirt_apache_t:s0:c1,c257
Static with no relabel.
Static with relabel.
