How will this interact with firewalld in Fedora 17? But adding things
incrementally is okay by me, so I'll still review this.

Again, I think that we should be thinking about supporting ipset
management in libvirt rather than requiring external tools. But that
can come incrementally (just like right now, disk snapshots still
require some use of external qemu-img to cover the gaps in the things I
have not yet wired up in libvirt).

Life would be a bit easier with a virBuffer command that removed a
trailing comma; then you could always append 'src,' or 'dst,' and clean
up things at the end of the loop. Then again, you're not the first
person to hit that situation where making virBuffer more powerful would
be nice, so don't bother waiting to refactor on top of such a patch
unless you really want it.

Brave to allow a space; are we sure it will always be properly shell-quoted?

Are we sure that it is safe to ignore the return value of snprintf here?
And a format of "%s" is generally an indication that you should really
be using virStrncpy instead.

Why 200? A comment, or even a composition of #define'd macros, instead
of a magic number, would make me feel better.

Hmm, no space in this pattern; it doesn't match your VALID_IPSETNAME
#define above.

Do we have a mapping of _which_ elements are selected? If I say
'src,dst', is it always the first two elements of a packet header (and
which two elements are they), or does the choice of which two elements
depend on other context?

0.9.13, now.

0.9.13 (several more, won't point them out)

I think you meant:
s/attributed/attribute/
(several instances)
Overall, the patch seems reasonable (sorry for delaying the review until
after 0.9.12). But I do think it's worth a v4 to rebase to latest and
fix the nits above.
