Re: [libvirt] [RFC PATCH] Use PAUSED state for domains that are starting up

When libvirt is starting a domain, it reports the state as SHUTOFF

it's RUNNING. This is not ideal because domain startup may take a long
time (usually because of some configuration issues, firewalls blocking
access to network disks, etc.) and domain lists provided by libvirt look
awkward. One can see weird shutoff domains with IDs in a list of active
domains or even shutoff transient domains. In any case, it looks more
like a bug in libvirt than a normal state a domain goes through.
A shutoff transient domain isn't too bad IMHO, but a shutoff domain
with an ID number is definitely not expected.
Could we perhaps address it by ensuring that we always return '-1'
for ID if the state is "SHUTOFF", even if def->id has a positive
value ?
