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".

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.

I've confirmed that we have a regression :(. Talking to an 0.8.8 server gives VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT when issuing the "unknown procedure: 243" message; it is only 0.9.3 and newer where we switched to the new rpc handling where we get VIR_ERR_RPC instead. I'm looking into how best to repair this regression, so that clients need not check for VIR_ERR_RPC everywhere.
