It's written in the guide: http://libvirt.org/devguide.html but I'm not
sure even after reading it. It's not _defined_ there, so we should
probably go with our gut on this one. After looking at the code with all
the patches applied, I think this could be ok, we have only few words
with guest in it and they make sense, so for the sake of stabilizing the
code asap, ACK.
