Fwiw, I was thinking a bit more about this, and I'd tend to use
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED as meaning "libvirt knows about this enum value,
but cannot handle it for some reason" vs VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR meaning "this
document cannot be parsed because this enum value is invalid/unknown".
So my preference here would go to VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR.
