I'll look into this more.

Would this be called before virCommandRun and do the logging immediately
at that point (or, if something has gone wrong such as allocation
failure, then nothing is logged, and the user will eventually learn that
nothing was logged when virCommandRun fails), or is it something where
you call it once to register the logfd, then calling virCommandRun is
what actually writes to the registered fd at the time the child is
actually spawned?
