Drivers load running persistent and transient domain configs before inactive persistent domain configs, however only the latter would set a domain's autostart flag. This mismatch between the loaded and on-disk state could later cause problems with "virsh autostart": # virsh autostart example error: Failed to mark domain example as autostarted error: Failed to create symlink '/etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/example.xml to '/etc/libvirt/qemu/example.xml': File exists This patch ensures the autostart flag is set correctly even when the domain is already defined.
