Ah, this breaks my design. I guess

is pure madness, isn't it?
Yes, but OTOH if libvirtd starts the daemon, nobody cares about the
source type, so perhaps

   <pr driver='helper' mode='shared'>
     <source ... />
   </pr>

(mandatory source) vs.

   <pr driver='helper' mode='private'>
     <path>/path/to/qemu-pr-helper</path>
   </pr>

(optional path, default from global configuration) vs.

   <pr driver='passthrough'/>

(no helper)?
