I was prepping to commit this sometime soon and for my own testing -
while doing so I realized this line is very long.
While https://libvirt.org/submitting-patches.html doesn't mention a
limit it is generally useful to wrap at 72 or at least 80 chars.
This can be done by the committer, but obviously is less work for
everyone if wrapped from the start.
