While I had a domain pointing to an inexistent disk image, it did not
actually cause the strange error reported by virCPUx86GetMap. This is
what caused the error to be reported: I have a directory storage pool in
/vm, which is autostarted on libvirtd startup. That directory contained
sysres1.qcow file with systemrescuecd-x86-2.5.1.iso backing file. But
the backing file was missing. The storage driver refreshes all active
pools and once it gets to sysres1.qcow, virStorageBackendVolOpen fails
with "Storage volume not found: no storage vol with matching path
'/vm/systemrescuecd-x86-2.5.1.iso'".
