We don’t understand exactly how the testing frameworks are functioning.
With regards to our XML testing, the tests/qemuxml2argvdata/ directory
contains for each test both an xml file and an args file- is this .args
file the expected output qemu command we want to generate from the input
.xml file?

If so, how do we invoke the VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT flag to create this
.args file, and how concerned should we be about non-disk information
provided in the .xml file as input? Additionally, since our source name (a
file path) needs to include the NFS export at the beginning, how would we
set up the XML input? Can the file path and NFS export be chosen
arbitrarily?
