[libvirt] [PATCH 6/7] virsh: Allow restoring snapshot with non-persistent configuration
Now, snapshot-restore will allow restoring snapshots with non-persistent
configuration as both active and inactive XML configurations are saved
in snapshot. User can discard non-persistent configuratin of a domain
using --active-only flag. When --active-only flag is used, active XML
configuration of the snapshot is used as both the active and inactive
XML configuration of the domain after restore.
