All of that is correct. In PATCH 6/7 this new function is called from qemuSnapshotRevertActive unconditionally. And it will handle reverting internal and external snapshots and do the correct thing based on what arguments are passed to it. In case of internal snapshots we were calling qemuProcessStart and passing virDomainMomentObj. To avoid code duplication this parameter was introduced in PATCH 3/7 to this new helper so it can start QEMU process when reverting to internal snapshot as well as when reverting to external snapshots.
