Yes to be clear. This is changing from a model where we have processes: libvirtd libvirt_qemud | +- qemu +- qemu +- dnsmasq To merge the two daemons so we have libvirtd | +- qemu +- qemu +- dnsmasq The single daemon serves as both the remote daemon & QEMU daemon all in one, with no need for QEMU specific code.

Yep, my primary motiviation is that we just broke QEMU protocol capability. So we should merge these daemons now to avoid having to break it a second time.
