BTW: My idea of setting id == -1 for deamon still works without any
change required in/for this patch.

So what would be concerning about using ownerPid would be that over the
lifetime of the host the @pid can recycle; whereas, during the lifetime
of the daemon don't we guarantee that the @id will be ever increasing?
But right now I'm too lazy to go look and see if getting the next id is
through libvirtd or virtlockd.

Not against this, but I need to get feedback from earlier patches and of
course your thoughts on the @id vs. @pid rotation.  Plus I need see how
this plays out in future patches.
