We still want it to be connection-dependent, though, so that the
canonicalization is tied to the version of the driver the user is
connected to, and not to the version of the libvirt.so client, in the
case where the driver and client are at different versions.
Oh sure, still needs to run server side - we can have 1 shared impl
that can be pulled in by all drivers - as we do for nodeinfo stuff
that's shared.
