Listing all the capabilities of all the emulators in the existing
virConnectHypervisorCapabilities may be too much XML for one RPC call;
so a new API that lets us focus on one particular emulator is
worthwhile. But yes, this is a better scheme to be copying from - we
want a command where the user specifies an emulator, and the output is
XML describing that emulator's capabilities according to what libvirt
can expose.
thank you both for the input. I will rename the new function to
virConnectGetHypervisorCapabilities and add a flags argument that
controls what capabilities are included in the XML; for now both _ALL
and _CPUS will return the same XML.
