So my understanding of libvirt's object and locking code isn't too
good so I hope someone else will review. But I don't see
virNetcfDriverStateOnceInit() called anywhere and I don't see
virNetcfDriverStateInitialize() defined anywhere? Are those suppose to
be one in the same or is there some magical macro expansion going on
somewhere that I just don't know about.
