Actually the use of bitfields for booleans has kind of fallen out of
favor in libvirt, and those left in the code seem to be there just
because nobody has thought it was important enough to change it. If you
want consistency, I think it would be more appropriate to make a patch
that changed managed and missing from bitfields into bool, then add
readonly as a bool too.
