I don't see any need to special case the base image here. The

this is sufficient.
Is this as efficient though? Discarding all snapshots could be
reasonably expected to be O(1). If you say this is not a common
operation, that's fine of course.
Even without special casing the base image, I'm a bit uneasy that a
virDomainSnapshot* API touches the base image. What do you think about
leaving the merge operation as a virDomain* API, e.g. virDomainRebase?
