There are some stateless drivers which implement subdrivers (typically vbox and its own network and storage subdrivers). However, as of ba5f3c7c8ecc10 the vbox driver lives in the daemon, not the client library. This means, in order for vbox (or any stateless domain driver) to use its subdrivers, it must register before the general drivers. Later, when the virConnectOpen function goes through the subdrivers, stateless drivers are searched first. If the connection request is aiming at stateless driver, it will be opened. Otherwise the generic subdriver is opened. The other change done in this commit is moving interface module load a bit earlier to match the ordering in case libvirt is built without driver modules.

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.
