Replying here because it looks as good a place as any.
Now that Michal has made it so that identically-name domains defined
under different qemu:///embed roots no longer clash at the machined
level (thanks!), I have immediately bumped into the next issue: if
I use either one of
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages/>
</memoryBacking>
<memoryBacking>
<access mode='shared'/>
</memoryBacking>
both qemu:///embed instances try to use the same paths:
/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu/$domid-$domname/
/dev/shm/libvirt/qemu/$domid-$domname/
which obviously breaks everything.
In this case, is the application expected to set
hugetlbfs_mount = "/dev/hugepages/$random"
memory_backing_dir = "/dev/shm/$random"
in qemu.conf beforehand (I'm not sure the former setting would even
work), or should libvirt take care of it automatically in a similar
way it now does for machine names?
