uhh, right :/ I broke that :/

We probably also want:

         if (priv->agentError) {
             virReportError(VIR_ERR_AGENT_UNRESPONSIVE, "%s",
                            _("QEMU guest agent is not "
                              "available due to an error"));
             goto cleanup;
         }
         if (!priv->agent) {
             virReportError(VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED, "%s",
                            _("QEMU guest agent is not configured"));
             goto cleanup;
         }
