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.

The following sequence
1. Define a persistent QMEU guest
2. Start the QEMU guest
3. Stop libvirtd
4. Kill the QEMU process
5. Start libvirtd
6. List persistent guests
At the last step, the previously running persistent guest
will be missing. This is because of a race condition in the
QEMU driver startup code. It does
1. Load all VM state files
2. Spawn thread to reconnect to each VM
3. Load all VM config files
Only at the end of step 3, does the 'virDomainObjPtr' get
marked as "persistent". There is therefore a window where
the thread reconnecting to the VM will remove the persistent
VM from the list.
The easy fix is to simply switch the order of steps 2 & 3.
In addition to this though, we must only attempt to reconnect
to a VM which had a non-zero PID loaded from its state file.

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.
