...continuing my thoughts from 8/7. These are the additional
fields required in virStorageSource to copy all fields directly
listed in virStorageFileMetadata that are not already rendered
redundant, as mentioned in those comments. By populating these
fields directly in virStorageSource, I can follow up with some
patches to s/virStorageFileMetadata/virStorageSource/, and
finally have one struct in use. From there, I now have the
situation that following the backing chain in order to do
SELinux labeling also leaves the chain populated with the
details I need for enhanced XML output of domain <disk>
information for a live guest.
