Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Explicitly pass uml_dir argument to user-mode-linux

uml_dir overrides user-mode-linux's default of ~/.uml. This is needed for a couple of different reasons: libvirt expects this to default to virGetUserDirectory(geteuid()) + '/.uml'. However, user-mode-linux actually uses the HOME environment variable to determine where to look for the uml sockets, but if running libvirtd under sudo (which I routinely do during development), $HOME is pointing at my user's homedir, while my euid is 0, so libvirt looks in /root. Also (and this was my actual motivation for this patch), if HOME isn't set at all, user-mode-linux utterly fails. Looking at the code, it seems it's meant to emit a warning, but alas, it doesn't for some reason. If running libvirtd from upstart, HOME is not set, so any system using upstart will need this change.
