Attached are the args (*_args) and return structures (*_ret) for all the calls covered by the remote protocol, that is to say everything except Save, Restore and CoreDump (see previous email). The only problem area are the upper limits imposed on the lengths of various strings and arrays. The upper limits seem to be required for safely decoding messages from untrusted sources. Some of them however would impose limits on such things as the number of CPUs supported, and perhaps those limits are too low (or too high)? I don't really have any experience of the sort of huge machines that people might be running libvirt on.
