[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemuConnectGetDomainCapabilities: Use wiser defaults
Up to now, users have to pass two arguments at least: domain virt type
('qemu' vs 'kvm') and one of emulatorbin or architecture. This is not
much user friendly. Nowadays users mostly use KVM and share the host
architecture with the guest. So now, the API (and subsequently virsh
command) can be called with all NULLs (without any arguments).
Before this patch:
# virsh domcapabilities
error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: virttype_str in qemuConnectGetDomainCapabilities must not be NULL
# virsh domcapabilities kvm
error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: invalid argument: at least one of emulatorbin or architecture fields must be
present
After:
# virsh domcapabilities
<domainCapabilities>
<path>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</path>
<domain>kvm</domain>
<machine>pc-i440fx-2.1</machine>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
<vcpu max='255'/>
</domainCapabilities>

Notes:
It would be nice to have this in the same release as the new API it's fixing.
So please, review.
