The function returns how many array items were filled in, but virsh
never checked for anything other than errors. Just to make sure this
does not report invalid data, even though the only possibility would be
reporting 0 free pages, check the returned data so that possible errors

util: fix success return for virProcessKillPainfullyDelay()
virProcessKillPainfullyDelay() currently almost always returns 1 or -1,
even though the documentation indicates that it should return 0 if the
process was terminated gracefully. But the computation of the return
code is faulty and the only case where it currently returns 0 is when it
is called with the pid of a process that does not exist.
Since no callers ever even distinguish between the 0 and 1 response

systemd: Make modular daemons conflict with libvirtd
We want to make sure that, at any given time, we have either the
modular daemons or the monolithic one running, never both. In
order to achieve that, make every single modular unit conflict
with the corresponding libvirtd unit.
We set both Conflicts=libvirtd.unit and After=libvirtd.unit: this
tells systemd that, whenever virtfood.unit and libvirtd.unit are
part of the same transaction, the former should win out.
Thanks to this, if both the modular daemons and the monolithic
one have been enabled because of outdated automation or a simple
mistake of the administrator, the request to start libvirtd at
boot will be ignored and the result will be a regular modular
deployment.
If the request to start libvirtd is made when the modular daemons
are already running, we have no way to prevent systemd from
complying with that request; however, thanks to the way the
conflict relationship has been declared, they will be shut down
cleanly before libvirtd is started. From the user's point of
view, the transition from modular to monolithic will be
completely transparent: it's basically the same scenario as a
regular package upgrade, just with an extra twist.
Note that, while switching from modular to monolithic at runtime
happens automatically, going back requires manual intervention,
i.e. starting all the necessary sockets one by one. That's okay:
the goal here is to prevent misconfiguration and force of habit
to accidentally disrupt a working setup, not to encourage the
scenario. In a correctly configured and managed host, it should
never occur.

qemu: try to connect to nbdkit early to detect errors
When using nbdkit to serve a network disk source, the nbdkit process
will start and wait for an nbd connection before actually attempting to

report an error until after qemu is launched and tries to read from the
disk. This results in a fairly user-unfriendly error saying that qemu
was unable to start because "Requested export not available".
Ideally we'd like to be able to tell the user *why* the export is not
available, but this sort of information is only available to nbdkit, not
qemu. It could be because the url was incorrect, or because of an
authentication failure, or one of many other possibilities.

misconfigurations, try to connect to nbdkit immediately after starting
nbdkit and before we try to start qemu. This requires adding a
