Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] virDomainDeviceDefValidateAliasesIterator: Ignore some hostdevs

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1556828 When defining a domain that has <interface type='hostdev'/> our parser creates two entries in virDomainDef: one for <interface/> and one for <hostdev/>. However, some info is shared between the two which makes user alias validation fail because alias belongs to the set of shared info.
