I would argue that its bad form to do that for at least 2 reasons.
1. The fact that driver->qemuImgBinary is "hidden" behind a function
to access it means you should effectively treat it as opaque and not
directly access it.
2. Its only found when its actually needed rather than always looking
it up when libvirt starts up.

qemuFindQemuImgBinary() is functionally equivalent to
driver->qemuImgBinary after the first call.
