Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 28/31] gendispatch: Introduce @sparseflag for our calls

Now, not all APIs are going to support sparse streams. To some it makes no sense at all, e.g. virDomainOpenConsole() or virDomainOpenChannel(). To others, we will need a special flag to indicate that client wants to enable sparse streams. Instead of having to write RPC dispatchers by hand we can just annotate in our .x files that a certain flag to certain RPC call enables this feature. For instance: /** * @generate: both * @readstream: 1 * @sparseflag: VIR_SPARSE_STREAM * @acl: storage_vol:data_read */ REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_SOME_API = XXX, Therefore, whenever client calls virDomainSomeAPI(.., VIR_SPARSE_STREAM); daemon will mark that down and send stream skips when possible.
