Thanks for the patch! The actual change is fine, but I suggest a commit
message like:

  driver: log missing modules as INFO, not WARN

  Missing modules is a common expected scenario for most libvirt usage on
  RPM distributions like Fedora, so it doesn't really warrant logging at
  WARN level. Use INFO instead

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274849


General rules to follow:

- The commit message should be more than one line. Too much info is always
better than too little.
- The commit message should explain the motivation behind the change, see my
explanation above, and check git log for other examples
- If there's an associated bug, list it in the commit message (I had pointed
Jovanka at that bug offlist)
- the first line of most commit messages generally starts with a prefix like
'qemu:' or 'docs:' to give a quick indication what part of the code it
touches. 'driver:' here isn't really that meaningful since it's a small part
of the code but personally I always try to stick to the convention.

Generally if you're looking for examples, check 'git log' or 'git log
[filename]' for the file(s) you are touching. Also some more reading for git
commit advice that largely applies to libvirt, including good and bad examples:

Anyways, I pushed your patch with that commit message updated!
