I (more or less) modeled (eg, cut, copy, paste) after the vcpu element
which as you'll note is "countCPU" for both current and maxvcpus.
Unlike the vcpu, I went with an 'int' instead of a 'short' although
technically I cannot imagine more than a short number of threads or
disks assigned to any domain!

Also unlike the vcpu argument a "0" is a perfectly valid value.

See my above explanation and then look about 10-20 lines before
iothreads and see vcpu/current and maxvcpus.  The power of the visual
suggestion of what code around area I was changing was doing was far
greater than thinking hmm.. should this code use the virStrToLong calls.
 Unlike of course when I added the iothread to the disk property which
does use the function.

Maybe in a different patch it'd be worth working through the various
other calls to virXPathU* and seeing if they too could use the
virStrToLong* interfaces.

I'll adjust both - no problem.

John
