  * rebase on top of master
  * remove the part about guests no longer disappearing if the
    QEMU binary is missing, since Peter already documented that

+        <description>
+          Starting with version 2.10, QEMU locks disk images and NVRAM files
+          to prevent them from being corrupted; however, file locking needs to
+          be explicitly allowed through <code>virt-aa-helper</code> or AppArmor
+          will reject the requests and the guest will not be able to run.

+          VNC and SPICE graphics can use Unix sockets instead of TCP/IP sockets
+          as connection endpoints, but such a configuration was not handled
+          correctly by <code>virsh domdisplay</code>, causing the respective
