Yes to be clear. This is changing from a model where we have processes:
libvirtd
libvirt_qemud
|
+- qemu
+- qemu
+- dnsmasq
To merge the two daemons so we have
libvirtd
|
+- qemu
+- qemu
+- dnsmasq
The single daemon serves as both the remote daemon & QEMU daemon all in
one, with no need for QEMU specific code.

Yep, my primary motiviation is that we just broke QEMU protocol capability.
So we should merge these daemons now to avoid having to break it a second
time.
