Aha! You are doing here what I've just requested in 1/4. Still I rather 
see it in a single patch (even though it will be bigger) because it make 
maintainers life easier. You know, backporting a single patch versus 
digging through 'git log' to search for this commit ...

I wouldn't say <source/> is optional in case of <interface 
type='vhostnet'/>. It contains crucial information that helps us 
construct the correct qemu command line which would not be possible 
otherwise.

Honestly, I'm inclined to not enumerate all of these here now. I mean, 
only 'unix' is supported now. On the other hand, it's acceptable to have 
a RNG schema that allows something more than our XML parser.

Nice, I've forgotten about qemuxml2xmltest completely.
