(sorry I was late in replying to this)

The thing is, I don't think that is generally going to be useful.  At the
moment, all of the callers pass NULL as conn.  Even if we were to make
some of the callers pass a real conn, because of the way the remote driver
works it doesn't really map back to the IP address you care about.  That is,
at the place where you are running virsh (for instance), conn.uri() is actually
something useful.  But by the time you've remoted through the remote_driver and
made it to the remote libvirtd on the destination of the migration, you are
really doing a "local" connection from libvirtd to the qemu driver, so
conn.uri() basically contains "qemu:///system", which is not particularly
helpful.
