I'd remove the vir prefix from everything. We use the prefix in the C
world as our namespace. In Java namespaces are already handled by the
package name   org.libvirt  so there is no need for a vir prefix. Note
that the Python and Perl bindings also remove the vir prefix so there
is precedent here.
