In fact I'd prefer FindByUUID() everywhere except for those few places
where other lookup functions are necessary (e.g. virDomainLookupByID()).

No. even two hash tables duplicate information enough.

The ultimate solution would be to have multi key hash table, so that any
item from tuple (uuid, name, id) would suffice to find domain object.
