This new event will use typedParameters to expose what has been actually

worry about creating some other events, we will just use this universal
event to inform user about updates.

When the event is issued, does it contain ONLY parameters for what just
changed, or does it list ALL tunables including the unchanged ones?
It feels like your API is only capable of listing the new tunable value.
Is anyone using this event going to want to know both former and new
value at the same time?
The API returns only the new tunable values. I've inspired myself with
other APIs that they also returns only the updated values without the
old ones.
The only user that I know right now will be oVirt and they seems to be
care only about new values.

Where do we document what names of tunables to expect?
It's documented in the 4/4 patch as I'm adding for now only cputune and
it will be documented in the description of this callback as existing
namespace and also there will be definitions for each tunable value that
we will return.

Yes, that would be probably nice, but since I've pushed this patch
already I can create a following patch with this small update?

...each param in the array will occupy multiple bytes. I think that
something as low as 2048 for REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_TUNABLE_MAX is still
plenty (we don't have that many tunables yet); even if each tunable
requires 64 bytes to transmit (mostly in the name of the parameter, but
also in the type and value), that's still well under a megabyte limit of
information passed on an instance of the event.
Well, yes and no :). Let's say, that we will add in the future (and I'm
planning to do it) blkiotune where you can update at the same time all
of the tunables for all host's disks where all params for now will be
only VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING and that could consume a lot of memory. I
know that it will probably never be that much, but I wanted to be sure
that we will have enough space for all possible tunable events.

The code looks okay, but I'm still a bit worried about the design.
