Experimental split of libvirtd into separate daemons
</summary>
<description>
The big monolithic libvirtd daemon can now be replaced by smaller
per-driver daemons. Distributions can chose if they want the former
or the latter. The libvirtd is still kept around for backwards

</summary>
<description>
In order to allow libvirt to abort on out of memory, we need to stop

and libraries.
This reduces the amount of code and 3rd party libraries are that
loaded into all processes.

</summary>
<description>
The setuid virt-login-shell binary is now a tiny shim that
