  Okay, that made the overall callbacks set clearer, ACK

  Actually I would define a detail enum for all event type just to
make clear what the value will be and expose how it's intended to be
extended if needed.

  okay

  What about 'live' migration, i.e. events sent when the migration flows
begin but the domain is stil running. I don't know if KVM has this but
on Xen I would expect to be able to notice this. On the target host that
could be indicated by SUSPENDED + VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_MIGRATED
because it will consume the memory resource like a suspended domain but
no actual CPU cycle (well except for migration itself). On the source
host this is a bit harder to indicate, maybe this isn't needed as the
resource usage doesn't really change at that point.

  okay

  One more reason to add enums for all cases would be to catch here
with a warning missing addition to the enums.

[...]

  Patch looks fine to me, I would just add enums for all type but I
think this is still okay as-is too as this doesn't change the API/ABI
in an incompatible way.
