This line ^ should be left as is, see below.

Although this line is correct, the problem resides in the virBitmapParse
function itself. The virBitmapIsAllClear check should be removed from
there and placed to every relevant place after the virBitmapParse call.

I sent 2 patches to the list, first adding the checks to
relevant spots and the second partially reverting commit 983f5a
which broke the virBitmapParse logic.
