'make check' fails:

virnetmessagetest-virnetmessagetest.o: In function
`testMessageHeaderEncode':
/home/remote/eblake/libvirt/tests/virnetmessagetest.c:57: undefined
reference to `virNetMessageEncodeHeader'

But that was easy enough to fix.

Should we really be using raw malloc here, or is it any better to use
VIR_ALLOC?  (Several times in this function).

Is this include still necessary?

This could make end go beyond length, if the difference was in the last
byte or two on an unaligned length.  And if expect or actual are also
unaligned, then this means that reading beyond bounds could segfault (at
any rate, valgrind will certainly call you on it).

ACK with this squashed in:
