We can't change libvirt API once released, so we'll need to decide on
a mapping for it, my prefernce is to restrict the types of interfaces
that can be returned from it, eg only standalone physical NICs, or
bond devices. ie no vlans, bridges, aliases, etc

That's noy the only method - we need to hook in the XML parser and
formatter at every place XML goes in or out of the libvirt API.

That makes it available to all drivers. Ignore the mis-leading filename :-)

You can probably remove alot of those headers.

This is wrong. You can't alloc & free global state, in a per-virConnectPtr
object. Either the state has to be private to each virConnectPtr, or
global and initialized in a virStateDriverPtr initializer (which is run
at driver startup, instead of connection open)
The choice really depends on how much overhead there is on each of the
ncf_init() calls. If its low, then it is fine to have it per-virConnectPtr

Type casts aren't needed if the source variable is void *.

Need to report an error here if ncf_num_of_interfaces fails

Need to report an error if the nf_list_interfaces call fails.

If we're using name as the unique identfier, then we should change this
error message, and preferrably include the name we faiiled to find in
the error message itself.

Wrong error code for this one. If netcf can't give more info on what
went wrong, then use VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR as the code.

Shouldn't use INVALID_INTERFACE here either - this error codeshould only
be used in libvirt.c, where it validate the magic data in the virConnect
or virInterface objects. Thre's a few more of these cases later, I won't
go through every instance of it.

Can drop this too, since nothing in this header file relies o nstuff

So mostly just a case of cleaning up the error handling, and then adding
in the XML parser & formatter calls everywhere we have XML coming in or
out of libvirt APIs.
