Shouldn't we have at least one test under tests/qemuxml2argvdata that is
impacted by this new ordering?  And if not, we should add such a test.

The patch is a bit hard to read, because it reindents at the same time
as adding only a couple lines of code.  I find it easier to split these
types of patches into two - one that adds the new code but doesn't
reindent, and a followup that fixes indentation; or the reverse order of
adding a {} group to reindent with no semantic change, followed by the
patch that adds the actual feature.  That said, the code looks right,
but I'd still like to see a testcase proving it before giving ack.
