[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8 v2] Glue domain and storage

[Osier Yang]

Like 7/8, 8/8, 9/8, there must be many places which also should be
modified to not prevent the new volume type disk out of the door,
but it's hard to find them out at once, disk related stuffs are always
hairy. Anyway, it doesn't affect to let the basic go in first, because
they are all additions, which are unlikely to introduce regressions.
so please give reviewing.  Thanks.
