Commit 7c90026 added #include "conf/domain_conf.h" to util/virrandom.c. Fortunately it didn't actually use anything from domain_conf.h, since as far as I'm aware, files in util aren't allowed to reference anything in conf (although the opposite is allowed). So this #include is unnecessary.
That is correct. util/ must be self-contained
Guess what - that sounds like a great syntax rule to write, so we don't slip up in the future. Give me a few minutes, to see what I can come up with. Any other directories that should be avoiding particular includes?
