Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver interface, if available.
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.
