I'm going to drop this patch in fact. I realized there's a trivial way to
use the existing VIR_AUTOPTR in the way I want:

diff --git a/src/util/virsystemd.h b/src/util/virsystemd.h

This is nicer because it lets us incrementally get rid of all the
VIR_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_FUNC() by converting the regular xxxFree() funcs
to take a pointer to a pointer, without having to replace all the
VIR_AUTOPTR uss with VIR_AUTOSTRUCT

Daniel
