Daniel P. Berrange de4d70873a Make domain save work when dynamic_ownership=0 
Setting dynamic_ownership=0 in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf prevents
libvirt's DAC security driver from setting uid/gid on disk
files when starting/stopping QEMU, allowing the admin to manage
this manually. As a side effect it also stopped setting of
uid/gid when saving guests to a file, which completely breaks
save when QEMU is running non-root. Thus saved state labelling
code must ignore the dynamic_ownership parameter

  doing save/restore image labelling

         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.
