However, this would mean, the XML from virDomainGetXMLDesc() cannot be
directly used for defining new domain. I think there are two possible ways to
go. Either output <mirror> the way you did it and ignore it on input
(similarly to what we do with aliases or SELinux labels) or put the mirror
element out of domain XML and put it into state XML only.

Unrelated but it's not worth a separate patch.

You could have also removed those extra () when copy&pasting the code :-)

This last hunk looks weired. Should it go into another patch perhaps?
