OK - thanks for the review.  However, I think I'm going to wait a few
cycles before addressing 3/6 & 4/6 since it seems Cedric Bosdonnat is
already in the process of adjusting virDomainNetRoutesFormat() and these
changes may partially be duplicitous.

Cedric - perhaps as part of your changes, you could also make
adjustments to cover the cases found through Coverity using the two
domain_conf.c patches I've posted to resolve Coverity issues? I believe
they were issues as a result of the 15 patch series pushed recently.


I will push 1, 2, and 6 shortly.

John
