I don't think this is ultimate goal. A lot of our code is written in a
callback style: var->cb(blaah). You cannot jump to the actual function
either. If doing 'vim -t' is the ultimate goal then we should ban
callbacks too.

Well, I was asked in other review to not copy the lines.
Also, the upside is that we can have a syntax-check rule that checks if
qemuSecurity wrapper is used instead of calling bare virSecurity...
So what about:
int
qemuSecurityRestoreHostdevLabel(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, ...)
{
WRAP(RestoreHostdevLabel); /* macro that wraps
virSecurityManagerRestoreHostdevLabel */
}
This way you can 'vim -t' into it. Although, the syntax-check rule is
going to be much more complex.
