There are three APIs that allow changing IOThreads:
virDomainAddIOThread()
virDomainDelIOThread()
virDomainSetIOThreadParams()
In case of QEMU driver these are handled by
qemuDomainChgIOThread() which attempts to be versatile enough to
work on both inactive and live domain definitions at the same
time. However, it's a bit clumsy - when a change to live
definition succeeds but fails in inactive definition then there's
no rollback. And somewhat rightfully so - changes to live
definition are in general harder to roll back. Therefore, do what
we do elsewhere (qemuDomainAttachDeviceLiveAndConfig(),
qemuDomainDetachDeviceAliasLiveAndConfig(), ...):
1) do the change to inactive XML first,
2) in fact, do the change to a copy of inactive XML,
3) swap inactive XML and its copy only after everything
succeeded.

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.
