The qemuDomainJobInfo is surely quite qemu specific.
1. The libxl, for the purpose of storing jobinfo, uses the generic
`virDomainJobInfo` structure.
2. The qemuDomainJob stores two jobinfo at an instance: current and
completed. And due to this, it would be difficult to split the
structure, and store part of it in qemuDomainJob.

I'm still looking into how this can be tackled. Maybe now is the time
we decide on the way we want our future structure `virDomainJob` to
look like.
