Hmm, re-reading this patch exposes a problem (existing before this
patch, and this patch doesn't change the situation):

In 0.8.8, 'virsh setmem' on xen:/// meant:
if guest is live, then affect live (only); otherwise affect config

But with this patch, 'virsh setmem --live' will _still_ affect a config.

What we need is three flags instead of two:

VIR_DOMAIN_MEM_LIVE
VIR_DOMAIN_MEM_CONFIG
VIR_DOMAIN_MEM_CURRENT - use LIVE or CONFIG according to domain state

where we document that virDomainSetMemory is hypervisor-defined whether
it implies CURRENT (xen) or LIVE (qemu), and where
virDomainSetMemoryFlags properly honors all three flags for both
hypervisors.
