We might someday be able to extend it to also work over TCP, by 
connecting the user's UNIX fd to libvirt_iohelper, which in turn feeds a 
pipe into an fdstream over RPC, then feeds another libvirt_iohelper 
invocation on the client that converts the data back into a server-side 
UNIX fd passed to qemu.  But that's future extension.

I would have sorted this, but it's not the end of the world if you don't.

ACK.
