  I'm a bit worried about the arbitrary 1MB limit, let's see...
  The problem of that function is that it's completely generic,
it assume nothing about the content. In our case that MAX_CPU *
size(counter) . A counter should not be more than 20 char (very large
already) and MAX_CPU of 4096 doesn't sound crazy though I'm sure we will
have bigger. So 100KB is already a maxed out value ... for that test
case.
  Since virFileReadAll will allocate (a bit more) up to the size of
the file, then okay, 1MB is not insanely large limit,

  ACK,

Daniel
