You can't have finished a Coverity run that fast!  But here's hoping it
works (and re-reading the original Coverity report, I think it will):

> (15) Event dereference: 	Dereferencing a pointer that might be null "event" when calling "remoteDomainEventQueue(struct private_data *, virObjectEventPtr)". [details]
> Also see events: 	[returned_null][example_assign][example_checked][example_assign][example_checked][example_assign][example_checked][example_assign][example_checked][example_assign][example_checked][var_assigned]

so Coverity is already smart enough to trace the flow from *BuildEvent*
to remoteDomainEventQueue() to the non-null parameter of
virObjectEventStateQueue().  So I pushed.
