The name 'virDomainDiskSnapshot' didn't fit in with our normal conventions of using a prefix hinting that it is related to a virDomainSnapshotPtr. Also, a future patch will reuse the enum for declaring where the VM memory is stored.

ACK, the only annoyance is that the name being longuer the simple substitution leads to lines over 80 characters, I would be a proponent of dropping the indentation to the opening ( for the sake of keeping everything on one 80 char line
Compared to the original:
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_SNAPSHOT_EXTERNAL virDomainDiskSnapshotTypeFromString
I thought of various other possibilities for shorter names, such as:
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_STYLE_EXTERNAL virDomainSnapshotStyleTypeFromString
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LOC_EXTERNAL virDomainSnapshotLocTypeFromString
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LOCATION_EXT virDomainSnapshotLocationTypeFromString
but I'm not sure that I like the abbreviation 'loc'.
Should I go ahead and push the patch as-is, or go with one of the shorter names? After all, long lines are a cosmetic issue, and I'd rather code with long names that are legible than short names that leave me scratching my head.
