We really should also have virConnectListAllInterfaces() supported as
part of this patch.
This is actually 1/2 and there's a 2/2 that implements
ListAllInterfaces() floating on the ML. I originally implemented the
original patch before ListAllInterfaces hit the ML and submitted that
as a follow on. I'll squash that patch into this patch and repost.
