Hi, This started as a simple NVDIMM change, then I realized there is a Gitlab work item for it [1], so I took the extra mile and did a bit more. I'll copy/paste here the motivation for this kind of change, provided by Cole in [1]:
----- The code that handles domain/VM XML parsing (virDomainDefParseXML in src/domain/domain_conf.c) has various validation checks sprinkled within it. Many of these checks should be moved out of the parse step and into virDomainDefPostParse, so they can be shared by various places in the code that build a domain definition without XML, such as converting from native vmware/virtualbox/xen formats. ----- There are still checks to be moved after this work. If this is accepted I'll update [1] with more details/tips about how to proceed with the remaining checks. Some g_auto* cleanups were done along the way.
