Hmm. I noticed that VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT also relies on VIR_FROM_THIS,
but in doing so, it loses the virLogSelf of the caller as part of
calling into the viralloc.c with its own virLogSelf. But if we rework
VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT to pass virLogSelf instead of VIR_FROM_THIS, and
rework viralloc.c to reuse the passed in context instead of its own
virLogSelf, we could report errors on behalf of the caller - which may
or may not be a good thing for purposes of deciding what log filters to
enable when inspecting an OOM failure. So maybe the idea of dropping
VIR_FROM_THIS is not worthwhile after all.
