Just spotted one serious problem we need to address. The
method 'qemudStartVMDaemon' quoted here is where we set the
security label:

Which ultimately calls the following method, which sets the context
to use for the next exec call.

The problem is that between the point where we set the exec context,
and the place where QEMU is finally exec'd, there is scope for several
other programs to be exec'd.  Also there are other threads running
concurrently, and I'm under whether 'setexeccon' scope is per thread
or per process.

I think we need to move place where we set the exec context to after
the fork() call, ideally to be the very last call made before the
actual execve().

We do not currently have an easy way todo this, but I have the exact
same problem in my patches to integrate with cgroups - I need to add
the new PID to the appropriate cgroup immediately before exec'ing.
So i suggest the following patch whichs a generic callback to the
virExec() call, so we can implant the neccessary logic after the fork()
and just before the real execve(), and safely in the child process.

To use this, we'd make qemudStartVM() pass in a virExecHook callback
which does the call to  qemudDomainSetSecurityLabel()
