Style nit: In libvirt, we've grown used to writing:

#ifndef ...
# define ...
#endif

that is, use spacing to make it more visually obvious what level of
conditional nesting is in effect during preprocessor lines.  But short
of a tree-wide change to enforce that style (which I'm not advocating),
it's more of a food for thought comment, and has no bearing on taking
this series as is.
