[libvirt] [PATCH 1/1] Clarify the purpose of domxml-from-native (v2)
Someone mentioned to me that they interpreted this section of the KVM
driver page as suggesting that new guests should be created by
creating a qemu commandline and converting it to XML with
domxml-from-native. I don't think that's the intent of
domxml-from-native, so I added that clarification.
v2
Suggstion from eblake: Add link to the applications page

+ Please note that this command is intended to be used to convert
+ existing qemu guests previously started from the command line to
+ be managed through libvirt. It should not be used a method of
+ creating new guests from scratch. New guests should be created
+ using an application calling the libvirt APIs (see
+ the <a href="apps.html">libvirt applications page</a> for
some
+ examples) or by manually crafting XML to pass to virsh.
