Straight code motion for now, so that fix is worth a separate patch (but
one I can make quickly as it is trivial).

Indeed, swapping the two lines makes more sense for a future conversion
to virObjectUnref(moment).

Yes, my original idea was using VIR_DOMAIN_CHECKPOINT_LIST_ROOTS =
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ROOTS to ensure that the bit values that the
generic code uses are indeed identical. And,

the intent is that this particular flag is easy to handle in common code
(so again, the new API flags for checkpoint would reuse the snapshot bit
value).  But your idea:

Having a new internal-only enum in the public headers that both snapshot
and checkpoint reuse, rather than having checkpoint equal to snapshot,
sounds even nicer.  I'll do that as a separate patch still needing
review (since it touches public API).

Ouch - you caught me on rebase churn. At one point, I was toying with
inheritance:

struct _virDomainSnapshotObjList {
  virDomainMomentObjList parent;
}

but without virObject, it didn't work right, so for this patch, I
switched back to container:

struct _virDomainSnapshotObjList {
  virDomainMomentObjListPtr base;
}

but forgot to undo my tweak here.
