or just:

  char *err = proc->qmperr;

  if (!err)
    err = _("uknown error");

Oh, this won't fly. So virReportError() sets the error object and
virQEMUCapsLogProbeFailure() uses it (by calling
virGetLastErrorMessage()). But since you're removing the
virReportError() call then there's no error object to get the error
message from. IOW this will probably log: "Failed to probe capabilities
for /usr/bin/qemu: no error" even though later the actual qemu error
message is logged.

Up until now, patches 01-07 look reasonable.

Ooops, this is not right ;-)

I don't think we need this macro. BTW, if you install 'cppi' you'll
notice that there needs to be a space afer # and before define.

P.S. this is where I stop my review for today. Have some errands to run,
will resume review tomorrow.
