While reviving old patches to add job support to the libxl driver,
testing revealed some problems that were difficult to encounter
in the current, more serialized processing approach used in the
driver.

The first patch is a bug fix, plugging leaks of libxlDomainObjPrivate
objects.  The second patch removes the list of libxl timer registrations
maintained in the driver - a hack I was never fond of.  The third patch
moves domain shutdown handling to a thread, instead of doing all the
shutdown work in the event handler.  The fourth patch fixes an issue wrt
child process handling discussed in this thread
