These two patches should be what we need to put the check mark next to
ComputerSystemIndication. The first deals with a potential disaster that is essentially a
race condition somewhere in the libvirt/xend region. The second adds the Modified trigger
to VSMS and, since our usage model relies much more on the trigger than the polling loop,
increases the event loop wait time to three minutes (feel free to throw out any other
suggestions for that number).
Comments are welcome on the first patch; I think it's a pretty good solution but if
anyone thinks it can be improved we can certainly talk about it.

Protect CSI from transient domains
Testing has revealed a couple of ways to segfault the CSI provider. One is a domain that
is undefined immediately after being defined, the other is a domain that is listed as
defined by libvirt but has not actually been fully defined by xend. In either case, the
problem boils down to CSI trying to get an XML description of a domain that isn't
there. This eventually results in a segfault.

Add CSI trigger call to VSMS
Now that ComputerSystemIndication is at the "maybe just a few tweaks" stage,
it's time to get the trigger calls into VSMS. This way, we can increase the sleep
period on CSI's event loop, and when VSMS does something like modify a domain, it can
just wake up CSI manually. This gives us a fast response time without near-constant
polling.

This patchset looks good. +1
