[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] Make loading domains with invalid XML possible

The RFC version [1] was ACKed, but I have found out that we could then cause inconsistency by calling virDomainCreateXML() or Restore() calls etc. This series is basically the same apart from the fact that it is rebased on current master and then one simple diff [2] is added to PATCH 5/8.
