This introduces a new domain
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_CONTROL_ERROR
Which uses the existing generic callback
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
void *opaque);
This event is intended to be emitted when there is a failure in
some part of the domain virtualization system. Whether the domain
continues to run/exist after the failure is an implementation
detail specific to the hypervisor.
The idea is that with some types of failure, hypervisors may
prefer to leave the domain running in a "degraded" mode of
operation. For example, if something goes wrong with the QEMU
monitor, it is possible to leave the guest OS running quite
happily. The mgmt app will simply loose the ability todo various
tasks. The mgmt app can then choose how/when to deal with the
failure that occured.

libvirt Python Bindings README
==============================
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml
Manually written files:
- libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
- libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
- libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
- typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
Auto-generated files:
- libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
- libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
- libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
the libvirt-override.c method table
