I suppose that's another way to handle this since virLockDaemonNew
allocates and places into hash table and then "theoretically" becomes
hands off allowing the main() to call virNetDaemonGetServer in order to
get a new ref to the object. The virLogDaemon handling should do the
same thing IMO - that is don't save @srv in logd - but that's a
different issue.

Also of note is that @srv is leaked when going to error: in
virLockDaemonNew if virNetDaemonNew fails <sigh>.

I do see now why you also had the Unref patch in patch2 of v2.

I'll hopefully talk with Erik in the morning and we can come to a
conclusion on this.
