Just a small point on this ... Are you sure that's optimising for the right thing? What libvirt API is so performance sensitive that a roundtrip on a unix domain socket would be a problem? For example, even iterating the list of domain names is going to have a negligible cost compared with loading libvirt from disk :-) However, the number of roundtrips to a management daemon *will* be an issue where the daemon is remote. And we're going to have that whether we use a daemon in the local case. i.e. even *if* daemon roundtrips turn out to be an issue for local apps, we're going to have to fix that for the remote case anyway.
