The qemu side is not merged in yet, so there is a chance that the
interface will change. Don't detect the capability just yet then.

If
1) dbus-vmstate is required for migration of a domain using a slirp-helper and
2) we enable this automatically for existing XML configs with
 <interface type='user'/> if
 a) QEMU has QEMU_CAPS_NET_SOCKET_DGRAM
 b) the slirp-helper process is installed on the system
then we've effectively made their machines unmigratable

So if we want to enable it automatically, we should add:
c) QEMU has QEMU_CAPS_DBUS_VMSTATE
regardless of whether dbus-vmstate gets merged into QEMU until libvirt's
next release

So are you saying that we should just temporarily revert QEMU_CAPS_NET_SOCKET_DGRAM detection instead and leave QEMU_CAPS_DBUS_VMSTATE be?

Give that there was a QEMU release which has one but not the other,
I'd say permanently revert QEMU_CAPS_NET_SOCKET_DGRAM - even if
dbus-vmstate gets merged later, there has been a QEMU release for which
we assume one capability and not the other - so libvirt would be
starting unmigratable machines.

As for QEMU_CAPS_DBUS_VMSTATE, we can either revert it temporarily now
or before the libvirt freeze if dbus-vmstate does not get merged by
then.
