If you know that virDriverDeviceDefCallback is always given a
virDomainDeviceDefPtr, why prototype it as void*? Same question for
virDriverDomainDefCallback.
Additionally, in the callback for a device, we will need to have the
virDomainDefPtr (e.g. so that we can see what machinetype was selected
for the domain). And in both of these callbacks we will need to get the
virCapsPtr so that (for example), we can have access to information
about which devices are available for which machine types, the default
pci addresses of integrated devices, etc.
So, I think the callbacks should be like this:
int (*virDriverDeviceDefCallback) (virCapsPtr caps, virDomainDefPtr
*domdef, virDomainDeviceDefPtr *devdef);
int (*virDriverDomainDefCallback) (virCapsPtr caps, virDomainDefPtr
*domdef);

I don't think I agree with calling these functions "UpdateDefaults",
because they could be used for any number of things, e.g. adding extra
devices, creating bridges for extra buses, validating addresses, etc.
Maybe they could be called virDomain*AdjustConfig*() or
virDomain*PostProcess*().

I find myself wondering if we're going to want to adjust the domain as a
whole first, then the devices, or the individual devices, then the
domain. I'm not sure which would be more useful. However, it does seem
like the device callback is more likely to look at info for the domain
(which we would probably want to be already adjusted at that time) than
for the domain callback to want to look at individual devices. I could
be wrong though...
And I've already found a counter-example. We will want the PCI addresses
of the devices (the ones which don't have an explicitly confugured
address anyway) to be assigned by the device callback, and it's true
that that will need the domain info to be properly setup (at least
machinetype). However, we'll want to go through and auto-create all the
required extra bridges during the domain callback, but knowing which
bridges we need to create requires that we have already assigned PCI
addresses to all of the devices. :-/
