While this does work and more or less follows what was done for
virNodeDeviceCapMatch, I'm wondering if the 'fc_host' and 'vports_ops'
capabilities need to also be returned in a "list" of capabilities for a
node device
That is I see that virNodeDeviceListCaps() seems to be only returning 1
capability for every device. However, for the scsi_host, it has those
additional fc_host and vport_ops capabilities which if returned in the
list would then be "found" by the python listDevices code which for some
devices (like the scsi_host here) there may be more than one way to "get
at" the information.
I'm investigating whether modifying nodeDeviceListCaps() in
src/node_device/node_device_driver.c to add "fc_host" and "vport_ops" to
the return caps_list will resolve the issue... This also means
virNodeDeviceNumOfCaps() (and it's driver API nodeDeviceNumOfCaps) will
need some tweaking too.
Another option would be to fix the libvirt-python code to use
ListAllDevices with the flags argument like virsh does.
