So, I was able to sit down with Laine during KVM Forum and we looked
over the entire series together. He didn't spot any issues with it
except for the couple minor ones that I pointed out separately in
response to the corresponding patches; as for myself, I've already
provided R-bs for all patches and I have no further objections to
this being merged.

I also asked Dan to weigh in explicitly on the list regarding his
concerns about the XML design, and he promised he'd do that... I
think you can post a v8 which addresses the small issues mentioned
above (and rebased on top of current master) in the meantime.
