  yeah rc0 is not a release candidate, it's a snapshot, it's basically
unsupported. It may not have compliled (it didn't in some configurations)
it is a completely arbitrary upstream commit, like one of the
   ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-git-snapshot.tar.gz

So your patch looks fine to me, i re-did it on my own too, so ACK

Daniel
