This is pre-existing, but since the socket callback is removed right
after, it does not make much sense to update its events to listen for.

This will leak the socks[i] object, wouldn't it? I mean, in
libxlDomainMigrationPrepare() on line 392 virNetSocketNewListenTCP() is
called. This initialize the array with object pointers. Then
virNetSocketAddIOCallback() + virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback() pair keep
the ref counter consistent. This makes me think you should not remove
this line.

Otherwise looking good.
