I don't see how this can be correct.

The startup code does:

    if (virDomainLoadAllConfigs(lxc_driver->caps,
                                &lxc_driver->domains,
                                lxc_driver->configDir,
                                lxc_driver->autostartDir,
                                0, NULL, NULL) < 0)
        goto cleanup;

    virHashForEach(lxc_driver->domains.objs, lxcReconnectVM, lxc_driver);


So, at the point 'lxcReconnectVM' is called  'virDomainIsActive'
will return false for *every* single VM, even ones that *are*
active.

You can't use 'virDomainIsActive' in this way, until we've loaded
the live state XML, which is later on in the lxcReconnectVM method.

So, AFAICT, this patch means we will never reconnect to any LXC
VMs now.

The correct solution, is to refactor LXC driver startup to work
the same way as the QEMU driver startup.

  - Load all the live state XML files (to pick up running VMs)
  - Reconnect to all VMs
  - Load all the persistent config XML files (to pick up any additional
    inactive guets)

Regards,
Daniel
