FYI impact is that in the one failure scenario here, yo will be unable
to decode virError objects off the wire, instead of the real error you
wil get an RPC error:

 1. 0.7.x client -> 0.7.x server : OK
 2. 0.7.x client -> 0.8.x server : OK (ignores the extra trailing bytes)

 3. 0.8.x client -> 0.7.x server : FAIL
 4. 0.8.x client -> 0.8.x server : OK

With matt's patch applied, removing the bogus field, new clients will
work with old servers again.

 1. 0.7.x client -> 0.7.x server : OK
 2. 0.7.x client -> 0.8.x server : OK (ignores the extra trailing bytes)
 3. 0.7.x client -> 0.8.2 server : OK

 4. 0.8.x client -> 0.7.x server : FAIL (not enough bytes)
 5. 0.8.x client -> 0.8.x server : OK
 6. 0.8.x client -> 0.8.2 server : FAIL (not enough bytes)

 7. 0.8.2 client -> 0.7.x server : OK
 8. 0.8.2 client -> 0.8.x server : OK (ignores the extra trailing bytes)
 9. 0.8.2 client -> 0.8.2 server : OK

Anyone with a 0.8.x build should apply this patch too
