Thanks for the feedback. I've applied the iptables -L with a callback handler. The callback handler then decides whether or not to create the base chains.
I changed the commit message from "nwfilter: Avoid firewall hole during VM startup by checking rule presence" to "nwfilter: Check before removing and reinserting iptable base chains". I also edited nwfilterxml2firewalltest, so it pretends that currently there are no chains and I changed the expected order of the commonRules.
