Thanks for the review!

Right before pushing, I realized that VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR is
probably not the best fit for this scenario. Are you okay with me
squashing in the changes below?


Yes.

     VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED = 67,    /* unsupported configuration
                                            construct (Since: 0.7.3) */

We also use VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR in similar cases,
but I'm not sure whether it's more fitting, given its description:

     VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR = 27,             /* an XML description is not well
                                           formed or broken (Since: 0.1.1) */

While I think we probably have too many different error categories (even though often *none* of them is exactly right for a given circumstance), in this case CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED is better, since (IMO) XML_ERROR should only be used for something that is *never* valid under any cirsumstance (I guess that could also be interpreted in many ways, though)

BTW, an alternate method of fixing this problem would have been to add <portForward> support to the slirp code (which is actually item 406 on my personal todo list :-P)
