Per API virDomainUndefineFlags' doc says, if a domain is running, it will be converted to transient, but keep running. However, the drivers prohibit one undefining a running domain. This patch series modify the internal domainUndefineFlags function of all drivers (except some driver don't need to check if the domain is running, it's handled by the underlying hypervisor, such as ESX and XEND). The principle is: 1) Set vm->persistent = 0 for a running domain 2) domainDestroy and domainShutdown will take care of remove the domain obj from the hash table.
