I find it very hard to follow this patch. I think three separate things
are happening here: rename of some static functions, moving
virNodeDeviceObjList* functions into a separate file and switching to
new virPoolObj* APIs.

The other patches are same from this POV. So I'm gonna stop my review here.

My overall feeling is good. But there are some issues we need to
resolve. Also, I don't know why it is, but I'd expect the actual code to
shrink in size after this patch set (we are merging some code after
all), but that is not the case. I don't know what part to hold accountable.
