The 'bool libvirt_internal_call' bit is not too nice - the driver.h
prototypes should always match the public API prototypes exactly.
This is there so that public API callers can't get the value of a secret
which has the private='yes' attribute set in its XML.
Ultimately this kind of thing needs to be done using a API-wide access
control mechanism in the public API, so that we can do more fine grained
control. eg, allow a sufficiently authenticated user to see even private
secrets, but not everyone else.
For now, I think we should just make use of the existing unused flags
parameter on this API - we already do that for a few other places.
eg, In secret_driver.h define a
enum {
VIR_SECRET_VALUE_PRIVATE = (1<<16)
};
And in the virSecretGetValue() impl in src/libvirt.c, mask out the top
16 bits of the flags passed in from the public API, to prevent them
ever setting this flag behind our backs. Thus, internal code can just
pass VIR_SECRET_VALUE_PRIVATE directly to the driver methods (which
bypass the checking).
