Yeah, I need to patch that up. For the latest version of the XML
documentation, I added <disk checkpoint='no'> with a comment that
anything other than 'no' is informative, then wired the RNG to let it
actually be a state machine ('begin', 'exported', 'ready', ...) tracking
the various phases of which QMP commands have been issued (and therefore
which commands have to be done in reverse for cleanup regardless of
whether cleanup is full after success or partial after early failure).
But I haven't finished wiring that through checkpoint_conf.c or through
the later patches; at the moment, the later patches have some rather
awkward hacks on checking if def->disks[i]->src is NULL (no disk image
associated, so must be a disk not involved in the snapshot), vs. a
separate state in def->disks[i]->state; but if I can properly unify
that, I think it will be easier to manage. May be followup patches.

Hence the 'internal' flag; this is ONLY supposed to be output for qemu's
internal storage to /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain.xml to persist state
across libvirtd restarts.  I also think that by the end of my series, I
was trying to avoid this ever landing on disk, and instead teaching
libvirt to re-parse current node names from QMP on the fly before any
operation where the node names are not still in memory from an earlier time.
