Fortunately no other part of this patch series appears to rely on

extra field. Just remove this addition& the place in

as is
The 'type' is used to filter the returned pool objects, so patches
1/50 to 14/50 should be skipped, though there is several patches
in the range not related with storage pool specificly.
Filtering is done inside the storage driver, so I don't see why
this needs to be exposed in the public API.
Patch 12/50 will explain it: if the server side is old enough without
the new API listAllStoragePools, and virsh is new enough to have the
new introduced option "--type". I.e. new virsh talks to old libvirt,
It will need to get the pool type to filter the results in virsh layer.
I guess I'm missing something important here... If libvirtd is old
enough not
to support listAllStoragePools, how it can be new enough to support
the new
API which would return pool type?
Yeah, this just doesn't make any sense. All filtering should be done in
the libvirtd server side for new enough libvirt. Nothing should be done
client side, for old or new libvirtd.
So how about keeping the "--type" option, and ignore it if talking to
old libvirt without the API? perhaps with a warning?
You might retrieve that info from the pool XML. And if you decide not to
support it with older servers, you should quit with an error if it's not
supported, not ignore it.
