Indeed:

$ git grep memset.*1
src/conf/domain_conf.c:    memset(max_idx, -1, sizeof(max_idx));
src/qemu/qemu_command.c:        memset(tapfd, -1, tapfdSize *
sizeof(tapfd[0]));
src/qemu/qemu_command.c:        memset(vhostfd, -1, vhostfdSize *
sizeof(vhostfd[0]));

So let's just copy that convention, instead of adding a new macro.

ACK to the qemu_hotplug fixes if you switch to raw memset.
