I'd suggest writing a test that parses libvirt-api.xml and validates that
your binary (or source code) contains a reference to each API, so that you
know you have full coverage, and also so that CI builds when when new APIs
are added to libvirt alerting you to close the gap.  Just blacklist the
APIs you don't want to expose.  There's examples of such a test in the
python, perl and go binding repos.
