I went with the documentation alternative in this patch [1], although I
didn't add the explicit NULL checking to the new API functions (neither
in Hu's virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags pushed today, nor my
proposed virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags in [1]), so depending on
which one gets pushed first, the other patch should probably add some
NULL checking.
