Commit ffe28ab74b821c916ec4ba8efb5c992454e4bd24 introduced regression
while comunicating with older libvirtd command 'domblkstat' used the new
API and did not check for VIR_ERR_RPC error code signalling the remote
server does not support this API and did not fall back to older API.
Thereafter 'domblkstat' ended with "error: unknown procedure: 243".

ACK.

footnote: Will not apply along with:
 [PATCH v5] virsh: Add more human-friendly output of domblkstat command
as that path does fix this bug.

Apply this first, then rebase that patch into a v6. Then the human-friendly patch is separate, rather than pushing two fixes in one patch (that is, upstream should have two patches, while for back-porting purposes, it might make sense to backport just this).

Hmm, I wonder if any of my recent snapshot patches also need to check for VIR_ERR_RPC (for example, see cmdUndefine, which checks for VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT but not VIR_ERR_RPC). Yep, I'm starting to convince myself that they do - if you have a new client talking to a pre-0.8.0 server, then virDomainSnapshotNum would fail with VIR_ERR_RPC rather than VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT.

Or, maybe this means that we have a bug in our RPC code - when the local side gets VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote side due to unknown rpc number, should the local side be translating that into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT instead of passing it back to the user as VIR_ERR_RPC? But only for unknown rpc numbers; for other rpc errors, VIR_ERR_RPC still makes sense.
