Lets do what makes sense now, not in some hypothetical future that may
never happen.
{0} will initialize the whole struct to zeroes as if you did
memset(&s, 0, sizeof(s));
and structures in libvirt are designed so that all zeroes are defaults
unless there are virStructNew() functions that properly initialize the
non-zero values. So this will work as long as this structure is not the
exception (in which case we need to redo all the initializations
anyway). That's why {0} is the nicest solution, IMHO.
