While that is still the case (libvirt interafce XML == netcf XML), it makes more sense to exercise as much of netcf as possible in the tests. The 'root' argument to ncf_init makes that possible, and if there are other things needed, we should add it to netcf, and exercise as many as the same code paths as non-test uses will as possible. > The test driver wouldn't call anything in netcf.

Given that the libvirt API is just pass-through for now, that would test much less of the 'live' code than we can and should exercise.
