This format is fine by me... Keeping enum is fine as well since it
follows other examples
Do you have any opinions on whether listing the API's supported each
pool is a worthwhile effort in any form? Building on the above, the
output could be API by API:
<pool>
<enum name='type'>
<value>dir</value>
<value>fs</value>
...
</enum>
<pool_api name='virConnectFindStoragePoolSources'>
<value>fs</value>
<value>gluster</value>
...
</pool_api>
... N pool_api's
<vol_api name='virStorageVolUpload'>
<value>disk</value>
<value>fs</value>
...
</vol_api>
... N vol_api's
I really don't think we should go down that route. Whether a specific
API works with a specific feature is really something that is practically
only determined at the time the API is invoked, as whether it works or
not may depend on the full set of arguments you pass to the API.
IOW, at most I would list which pool driver backends are present
in the capabilities.
