Someone mentioned to me that they interpreted this section of the KVM driver page as suggesting that new guests should be created by creating a qemu commandline and converting it to XML with domxml-from-native. I don't think that's the intent of domxml-from-native, so I added that clarification.

actually, I removed that line from the commit message (v2 information fits better after the --- line, since it is helpful for review, but doesn't need to be enshrined for eternity in the 'git log').
True indeed :)

ACK and pushed.
Thanks, Dave
