[libvirt] [PATCH 1/4] virsh: Document limitation of domifstat
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1497396
The current implementation reads the stats from the host.
However, this doesn't work for all types of interfaces as not all
of them have a representation in the host. For instance,
interface type='user' doesn't.
