Yes, this bit is worrying, the old behaviour could be considered as
buggy as the XML contained '1' but the number of heads was not enforced.
Suddenly enforcing the heads='1' (which libvirt will add by default to
domain definitions which don't have it) will cause a change of behaviour
for old guests though.
Something like the patch below changes libvirt so that we don't always
append heads='1' to domain XML, but I don't know if this interacts
correctly with parallels and vmx which force it to be 1 (this probably should
not be an issue, but maybe there are latent bugs). Also this is part of the things
which are checked as part of virDomainVideoDefCheckABIStability() , so I
suspect we'll need to be extra careful there too :(
