FWIW: I have another patch upstream:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-June/msg01341.html

Which is making some textual and code changes to qemu.conf and
qemu_conf.c - just so you are aware.

In patch 3, the call to qemuBuildTLSx509CommandLine has a @verifypeer
parameter = true, thus it's always going to expect to verify the client
rather than making that determination using *_tls_x509_verify. So that
means you have to describe the environment as requiring the
client-cert.pem and client-key.pem files (like the description for default).

Since you set the @addpasswordid to false on input, that just means the
certificate server-key.pem file cannot be encrypted - something else
that would need to be described.

Based on these two configuration settings, that means if vxhs_tls=1,
then vxhs_tls_x509_cert_dir must be set to something other than the
default environment. IOW: both must be defined and that would need to be
validated during config read and cause failure (e.g. vxhsTLSx509certdir
!= defaultTLSx509certdir

IOW: You're essentially *requiring* someone to set this up and don't
handle the/a default environment. Hopefully this makes sense, it's
Friday afternoon and I have a TLS migraine ;-).
