Not true. We still allow QUERY jobs, or APIs that lock a domain object
but don't necessarily take a job. For instance, if in one thread I'm
doing virDomainGetOSType(), virDomainGetInfo(), ... (essentially 'virsh
dominfo') while the other just starts the domain. I don't see a reason
why virDomainGetOSType() should wait for the domain to be started up.
Domain state should have no affect on the guest OS type, should it?
On the other hand, I don't think we can just lock and unlock the domain
object as we please. qemuBuildCommandLine is a very complex function and
as such it calls many others. Some of them may rely on the fact, that
the object is locked by caller.
