  haha, I would have expected a checking of /proc or something similar.
That test could still fail, say if the kernel started to disagree on
stack of only 4 pages for example.

 so it's restricted to root, it's probably fine, as we can go though the

  so we can only list domains created by this libvirt instance, right ?
Or I'm missing something, I assume virsh list works but I don't see how.

Except this bit I don't understand this looks fine to me
