ACK; your rebase looks sane.

Unrelated to your patch, but do we need to think about the issues of
dealing with 32-bit platforms?

That is, if as a client on a 64-bit platform, connected to a 32-bit
server, I call virDomainMigrate(...,0x100000000), it gets correctly
transferred to the 64-bit hyper value over the wire.  But then on the
server side, the conversion of the 64-bit hyper back to a 32-bit long
corrupts the value I passed, and ends up calling virDomainMigrate(...,0).

In other words, I think we need some patches to our RPC protocol such
that all longs are passed as hyper (necessary to avoid penalizing
64-to-64 communication), but range-checked for 32-bits (necessary for
64-to-32 communication), with an appropriate error issued if the RPC
call can't proceed because of truncation issues.
