To put this all into one place:
(1) An ugly new libvirt API that runs febootstrap-supermin-helper to
create the appliance.
(2) Modify guestfs_add_domain to launch a transient domain using
virDomainCreate. (Forget about the live case for the moment).
(3) A new libvirt API to open and forward a virtio-serial channel.
This seems generally a useful thing.
int virDomainOpenChannel(virStreamPtr, const char *channelid);
(4) libguestfs somehow has to access a virStreamPtr. We can work this
one out.
(5) libvirt will autoclose the domain for us when we close the
virConnectPtr.
This all sounds like a good plan to aim for.
