Thanks for the review

- Laine: all set - rebase/merge picked that up and no thoughts to
backporting this as a whole!

- I adjusted patch 7 to remove the savedError logic and avoid the
extraneous intermediate variable

- I adjusted patch 10 to fix the commit message from "virInterfac3Free"
to be "virInterfaceFree"

and pushed (after making sure my Coverity build was happy too!)
