... and update all users. No change in functionality, the parameter
will be used later.
The metadata representation is as minimal as possible, but requires
the caller to allocate an array on stack explicitly.
The alternative of using varargs in the virLogMessage() callers:
* Would not allow the caller to optionally omit some metadata elements,
except by having two calls to virLogMessage.
* Would not be as type-safe (e.g. using int vs. size_t), and the compiler
wouldn't be able to do type checking
* Depending on parameter order:
a) virLogMessage(..., message format, message params...,
metadata..., NULL)
can not be portably implemented (parse_printf_format() is a glibc
function)
b) virLogMessage(..., metadata..., NULL,
message format, message params...)
would prevent usage of ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF and the associated
compiler checking.

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.
