Actually I'd store the entire XML config appended to the end of the image.
Its quite possible the saved image may be restored on a different machine
so libvirt will need the XML config there & its not much work to automatically
append it all & use it when restoring later.
How does this (or even _does_ this) work in the Xen case? Does Xen save
this info like UUID, name, etc. in the migration image?
