  Small nit, I would suggest making the 4 extra comments a bit more
  explicit that it's about transaction support, something along the
  lines of:

    * This can however be affected by the transaction support for
    * interface configuration change, see virInterfaceChangeBegin(),
    * virInterfaceChangeCommit() and related functions.

   which frees the restore point.

I would like the description of what happens ona  sequence of
   virInterfaceChangeBegin()
   virInterfaceChangeBegin()

calls for the same connection, is that an error ? Will netcf implement
this, this behaviour should probably be documented.

  "frees the restore point"

  Same thing behaviour of virInterfaceChangeCommit() in case there was
  no Begin() associated should be documented.

  The partial code checking entry points seems fine but the real stuff
happens somewhere else in netcf.
  I would like to have documented the behaviour in corner cases like
I described but it would be good to clarify too what happens when
2 libvirt users/program/agents use simultanously those entry points
targetting the same node. It seems to me virInterfaceChangeBegin()
should be allowed only once on the full host before a Commit(),
a Rollback() or a reboot happens, and if it's the case it should
be documented in virInterfaceChangeBegin comment too.

  So with clarifications on semantic, ACK :-)
