This patch is the reason that I asked you to delay 0.8.3 a bit. Prior
to this patch you could connect to a whole vCenter, this resulted in
multiple problems as you already saw in the initial vCenter patch. The
bunch of "TODOs without an error message". Also Dan pointed out that
being able to connect to a whole vCenter is probably out of libvirt's
scope.

With this patch the vCenter connection is restricted to a single ESX
server. This solves all the "TODOs without an error message".
Including the patch into 0.8.3 makes sure that we have the opportunity
to relax the restrictions on a vCenter connection later on (if that
turns out to be to be feasible), instead of having to apply
restrictions in later releases.

The other 4 patches just came along with this one, and I'd like to
include all 5 into 0.8.3.
