Ok the only goal here is a mechanism for the selinux policy writer to
tell the tools what label to run virtual processes as, and what label to
label there images.

One of 500,000, which we can bounce up by adding one or more categories,
currently we are only using 2, we could use as many as 1024.

This is the way I was originally thinking, but there are a couple of
problems with this. libvirt would need to relabel all of the images on
the fly when it chooses the MCS Level. So if I have multiple disks I
would need to run through them and execute a setfilecon on each image.
What happens to the labels when them image is complete? Do I rerun
through the images setting the labels to something that no qemu can
read/write? system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemHigh? Since we do not
want to accidently allow a later qemu to gain access.
What about shared storage? If I have multiple libvirt running on shared
storage, they could both pick out the same MCS Label and set labels on
the images allowing the remote machine access. Now since we are
allowing for ~500,000 labels, this is limited risk, but it does exist.
Finally the current solution does allow for MLS. In MLS the
administrator wants to say that these images will run as TopSecret and
do not care about isolation. So we would need a mechanism to override
libvirt choosing a label on the fly and allow the user to force the label.
