The refactor of 'udevListInterfacesByStatus()' which attempted to make
it usable as backend for 'udevNumOfInterfacesByStatus()' neglected to
consider the corner case of 'g_new0(..., 0)' returning NULL if the user
actually requests 0 elements.
As the code was modified to report the full number of interfaces in the
system when the list of names is NULL, the RPC code would be asked to
serialize a NULL-list of interface names with declared lenth of 1+
causing a crash.
To fix this corner case we make callers pass '-1' as @names_len (it's
conveniently an 'int' due to RPC type usage) if they don't wish to fetch
the actual list and convert all decisions to be done on @names_len being
non-negative instead of @names being non-NULL.

Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
