In isolation, this patch looks okay.  But the real question is what it
will be used for.  I'm worried that we don't have quite the right
implementation design in place yet.

Unfortunately, I think we need much more than storing just a set of
integers - we need a full blown hash table, where the key is the fd we
passed through, and the value is more details (the file name or other
details describing the fd that we are passing, and the resulting qemu
fdset number that the fd will belong to).  Furthermore, we need to make
this storage persist across libvirt reboots, which means it needs to be
part of the (internal-only) XML that we save in
/var/run/libvirt/qemu/$dom.xml, so we must also modify
qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLFormat() to output the contents of this set (or
hash table) in a reusable manner.
