We get here if qemu reports 0/0 (or if qemu reports nothing, and we end
up with 0/0 because we 0-initialized the object)...

if qemu reported done (on a no-op job), then we fudge to 1/1 and the
caller knows we are done...

if qemu didn't tell us it was ready, then we fudge to 0/1.
I thought the original email thread was that if rawInfo->ready == 0
(qemu explicitly told us it is NOT done) that we want to fudge to 0/1,
and then the real question is that if qemu tells us nothing at all about
rawInfo->ready, then fudging MIGHT treat a no-op job as never ending, so
it was better to leave it at 0/0 (an application getting 0/0 when
talking to new-enough libvirt then knows it is talking to older qemu).
In other words, I think this condition is slightly better as
rawInfo->ready == 0, and leave the rawInfo->ready < 0 case as 0/0.
Or am I misremembering the results of the earlier thread?
So, just to make it crystal clear, is this what you're saying?
ready | initial C/R |fudged C/R
------+-------------+----------
< 0 | 0/0 | 0/0
= 0 | 0/0 | 0/1
0 | 0/0 | 1/1
