Good idea, I've pushed your patch:
Awesome idea; in fact, I think 'virsh list --all' should probably also
be enhanced to do something similar (show "saved" instead of
"shutoff",
and perhaps requiring a new --managed-save flag so as not to break
back-compat). Note that virsh 0.9.4 is gaining 'virsh dominfo' as a way
of querying whether a managed save image exists (previously virsh had no
way to expose that information), but 'virsh dominfo' on a single domain
at a time is much slower than doing it in bulk in 'virsh list'.
Alas, we've missed the deadline for getting a patch like that into
libvirt 0.9.4.
