Libvirt's so good, so solid that it almost feels like other
software stand no chance. Other applications are buggy, unstable,
crashing, etc. But not libvirt. Therefore, it seems only fair
that we introduce some bugs so developers of the other
applications don't feel that bad.

Looks safe for the freeze.

ACK if you place "--no-preserve-root" under "#ifdef __linux__" because
it's not supported on FreeBSD for example.

I hope some automated CI somewhere is not configured properly and
actually running as root...
