xen-hypervisor: GetVcpus may not find a certain domain
Observed on connections that have been running and then shut
down. The hypervisor subdriver fills the log with internal
errors while the xend driver actually can handle the query.
This only handles the case which I observed after shutting
down an instance via virt-manager and leaving its console
window open. The same reasoning would probably be true for
other internal errors as long as they potentially get recovered
by other sub-drivers.

I don't think this piece is correct, since this will overwrite any error
raised by sub drivers. It should just be dropped.

This is kind of a hack. The whole xen driver arch is pretty weird though so
error handling is just strange as it is.
But isn't this all a side effect of the bug that your previous patch fixes?
virt-manager won't call GetVCPUs on an inactive VM, it's only doing so in this
case because libvirt and xen get out of sync. So I think fixing the previous
bug should stop the error log spew.
Thanks,
