After some more massaging of the nwfilter code, my suggestion would now 
be to split this patch up into two parts, one touching the nwfilter 
driver, the other (1st) part for the rest. I did a lot of changes in the 
nwfilter driver that I can send you and you may want to merge or I can 
merge it with your nwfilter-related code changes.

It seems to be working when using the firewall-cmd, but unfortunately 
running the TCK test suite for example is like 8 times slower when using 
firewalld. Also the VM startup times have significantly increased. :-((

Is this scheduled to be included in the next libvirt release ? I guess 
architecturally it also is needed for FC 17, so is the plan then to 
include the latest version of libvirt with firewalld support in FC17?
