This feels a bit complex; I had to go read esxFreePrivate() to make sure
it would behave if called on a partial object.  Would it be any easier
to delay the assignment to conn->privateData, and use transfer of
ownership semantics, so that the cleanup is unconditional?

    conn->privateData = priv;
    priv = NULL;
    result = VIR_DRV_OPEN_SUCCESS;
cleanup:
    esxFreePrivate(&priv);
