Are you sure you want to update the gnulib version in this same commit?
Although it is necessary for the rest of this patch to work, there are
probably other changes in gnulib that could potentially cause a
regression unrelated to the libvirt parts of the patch. Just for the
sake of bisecting, it seems like a good idea to update gnulib in a
separate prerequisite patch.

ACK to the new function. I do think the gnulib update should be a
separate commit, though.
