Keep in mind that it still needs to successfully survive the restart
without changing anything even once this is merged.
You mean daemon restart? Yeah, nothing has been (or will be) done to
break that, since we need to be able to force restarts during a software
update.

pointless "!!", you're not doing any arithmetic with it
Good point - that's what I get for blindly copying what was done in QEMU
without thinking about it too much!
(For those interested in the origin, I looked it up and it turns out
that all other cases of "!!g_atomic_int_dec_and_test()" we added in a
commit that mechanically eliminated invocations of this macro:
#define virAtomicIntDecAndTest(i) (!!g_atomic_int_dec_and_test(i))
with its contents. This even led to several instances of:
ignore_value(!!g_atomic_int_dec_and_test(...));
I'm removing my usage of !! before pushing, but not touching the others.)
