List Defined domains:
- Query current implementation
- If defined merge all non available domains.
In principle what I want to see is that if a domain is not defined in
the specific hypervisor, the domain file can be queried. I know I can
implement this behavior in my own code, but I really thing this would be
a cool thing for more people.
This doesn't make any sense. We have APIs for listing & defining inactive
domains. The individual drivers implement these APIs according to the
required API contract, and the underlying impl is not something which any
application using libvirt need know or care about. If your application is
relying on the inactive domains being stored in files it is broken.
