Re: [Libvirt-cim] [PATCH 6 of 6] Add another relationship to ElementCapabilities, the ResourcePool-AllocationCapabilities connection. Only supports the pool_to_alloc direction, because it is the only one that's terribly interesting, but the other direction will need to be added at some point

The instance functions for AllocationCapabilities could probably be
left unimplemented without anyone noticing, I imagine. However, I
think that EnumInstances should return an instance of every
AllocationCapabilities that could possibly be had through association
with a pool. Thus, enumerate all the pools, create an AC instance for
each and return them. GetInstance works the same. Should be
trivial.
I can see what you mean with EnumInstances, although if this is how the
DMTF wants things done I still take issue with it since it just feels
like a broken way of doing what the associations do.
