!!! DON'T PUSH until stat-time lgpl 3 issue is fixed

The access, birth, modification and change times are added to
storage volumes and corresponding xml representations.

It might be worth writing the regex to permit eliding the sub-second
resolution, on file systems that only have 1 second resolution.  Given
Well, the problem here is that stat-time doesn't offer a way to determine if sub-second resolution is available. If the system doesn't support it then tv_nsec is simply zero. So there is always a sub-second part in the timestamp and such an regex could be slightly misleading. I will change it anyway and add a comment to the schema.
that we are repeating this<data>  four times, it might be worth defining
it, for a shorter diff:

<element name='atime'>
<ref name='timestamp'/>
</element>

...
<define name='timestamp'>
<data type='string'>
<param name='pattern'>[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?</param>
</data>

Eliding a sub-second suffix when tv_nsec == 0 would be easier with a
helper function:

void
virStorageVolTimestampFormat(virBufferPtr buf, const char *name,
                              struct timespec *ts)
{
     if (ts->tv_nsec<  0)
That's never the case. See above.
Yups, wrong line. Of course that could be the case. But again I prefer to check tv_sec also.
         return;
     virBufferAsprintf(buf, "<%s>%llu", name,
                       (unsigned long long) ts->tv_sec);
     if (ts->tv_nsec)
That the line I wanted to comment. I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to omit the sub second part. Although it's very unlikely that this happends on systems that support tv_nsec it could be misleading.
         virBufferAsprintf(buf, ".%ld", tv->tv_nsec);
     virBufferAsprintf(buf, "</%s>\n", name);
}

called as:

virStorageVolTimestampFormat(buf, "atime",&def->timestamps.atime);
virStorageVolTimestampFormat(buf, "atime",&def->timestamps.btime);

and so on.

Actually, I'd list atime, mtime, ctime, btime - in that order - rather
than trying to sort the names alphabetically (that is, match typical
'struct stat' ordering).
Well I thought about that and I think it's better to sort it alphabetically, because everyone who doesn't know 'struct stat' could be very puzzled about atime, mtime, ctime, btime.
+typedef virStorageTimestamps *virStorageTimestampsPtr;
+struct _virStorageTimestamps {
+    struct timespec atime;
+    /* if btime.tv_sec == -1&&  btime.tv_nsec == -1 than
+     * birth time is unknown
Doesn't gnulib guarantee that tv_nsec == -1 in isolation is sufficient
to point out an unknown value? That is, checking tv_sec == -1 is overhead.
Well, actually yes, but the the description on get_stat_birthtime says: "Return *ST's birth time, if available; otherwise return a value with tv_sec and tv_nsec both equal to -1.". So to be sure I prefer to check both.
Looking nicer.  I'll have to ping upstream on gnulib about the last
holdout on the relicensing of stat-time; and I'm also still waiting for
the security fix in updated automake to hit Fedora.

Ok, please let me know if there are some changes here. Meanwhile I will adapt my patch.
