I'm not such a fan of magic "bool" parameters that have signifcant
behaviour changes, because when reading the code it is far from
clear what effect passing "true" is having. This is compounded
when we have 3 "bool" parameters in a row.

I think this would be  better change to have 'int flags', and then
define an enum bitset....

   VIR_NETDEV_BANDWIDTH_CLEAR_CLASSES = (1 << 0)
   VIR_NETDEV_BANDWIDTH_HIERARCHICAL_CLASS = (1 << 1)
   VIR_NETDEV_BANDWIDTH_DIR_SWAPPED = (1 << 2)
   

With regards,
Daniel
