This is a good idea which I've wanted for other reasons - the qemu
driver also has instances where we are sticking large files in a
hard-coded directory (such as 'virsh managedsave') but where people have
complained that they would like to control what directory gets used for
it.  Adding an element to the <domain> xml that gives the name of the
preferred virStoragePool for all operations requiring potentially large
files associated with the domain is a change worth making.

Maybe, but it is the right thing to do.
