That's a good idea. I don't think the devkit impl can go forward until
devkit itself starts moving forward. (Hmmm ... I (now) see the devkit
mailing list has started getting some traffic. Apparently they've just
released v2. Perhaps it's time for another look, though I can't sign up
for that right now.)

Yes. Or the equivalent (! (interface && *interface && *(++interface)).

Yes. Good catch, again.

Absolutely. I think this supports your request that this be disabled by
default.

I'd prefer hex for vid/pid as well; I just stuck with decimal since the
rest of libvirt does. If this does get changed to output hex, I'd only
request that we prefix hex numbers with "0x" so people don't have to
remember which attrs are dumped in hex and which in decimal.

Yep, that's a good idea.
Thanks for the careful review,
