Good, but it doesn't show up in the API docs. See
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virSecurityLabel
and http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virSecurityModel

After some digging around I found out what the problem is. The
apibuild.py script doesn't like the typedef with the in-line struct
definition.

Other structs with no field elements in libvirt-api.xml are

virConnect
virDomain
virDomainSnapshot
virInterface
virNetwork
virNodeDevice
virNWFilter
virSecret
virStoragePool
virStorageVol
virStream

I think these are truly non-public structs, so that should be OK.

Patch coming up.
