Sooo... After very very VERY long time, here's a draft of an admin
interface that is supposed to open up new possibilities to be done on
a live daemon. The aim here is to create some first inches of that
API in order to open up the possibility of new API function creation
to more people.
I already spent so much time explaining so much of that that I don't
know what else to point at in here. Maybe the fact that last three
patches are just an example on how this might work. Of course there
won't be any functions like listClientIDs with the need of getting
each client info by another API. There's going to be
e.g. virAdmClientInfo and virAdmGetClients() will return the list of
them, etc. Long story short, let's not repeat past mistakes ;)
With all that said, feel free to hate, love, comment or just try out
compiling this series and let me know how many things I've missed and
screwed up (hopefully zero).
Broadly speaking I think this all looks like pretty good approach
to me. We should probably think about exactly which API we want
to target for inclusion in the first release.
Perhaps the ability to change the logging filters & outputs would
be the most useful one, as its something people often want to have
in the production deployments where restarting libvirtd is not an
option.

Daniel
