To rescue this bug from the noise in a subthread:
If a hostname resolves to more than one address and the host currently
configured itself for just IPv4, doing a bind() to some IPv6 address
will fail. As a result an error is returned instead of continuing with
the next item in 'runp'.

After further debugging:
27672 16:04:46.774906 socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 35
27672 16:04:46.775041 setsockopt(35, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
27672 16:04:46.775172 setsockopt(35, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, [1], 4) = 0
27672 16:04:46.775302 bind(35, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(49152), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2620:113:80c0:8000:10:161:8:197", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot assign requested address)
27672 16:04:46.775455 gettid() = 27672
27672 16:04:46.775590 write(4, "2018-03-20 15:04:46.775+0000: 27672: error : virNetSocketNewListenTCP:389 : Unable to bind to port: Cannot assign requested address\n", 132) = 132
27672 16:04:46.775742 gettid() = 27672
27672 16:04:46.775875 write(4, "2018-03-20 15:04:46.775+0000: 27672: info : virObjectUnref:350 : OBJECT_UNREF: obj=0x7fa4bc003530\n", 98) = 98
27672 16:04:46.776026 gettid() = 27672
So for some reason libvirtd tries to bind to ipv6 even if the host does
not have that ipv6 address at this point, only the link-local address.
Not sure if there is a way to detect that within libvirt. Perhaps it
should just move on with the runp list and try the next one?
