So far, the values the affected getters retrieve are static, i.e. there's no way of changing them during runtime. But admin interface will later enable not only getting but changing them as well. So to prevent phenomenons like torn reads or concurrent reads and writes of unaligned values, use mutual exclusion when getting these values (writes do, understandably, use them already).

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
