Reloading of the nwfilter driver is stuck waiting for a write lock, which
already has a reader (from qemuDomainCreateXML) in the critical section.
I'm not really sure how to best fix this deadlock. One hack that avoids the
deadlock is to load the nwfilter driver after the hypervisor drivers, as the
below patch does. This is obviously problematic if loading a hypervisor driver
requires the nwfilter one.
Any suggestions on better fixes for this issue?

Jim
