This is okay.

This is not. Imagine there's a mgmt application already written and
compiled which calls:
virStorageVolCreateXML(flags = VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_REFLINK);
Because it is already compiled it is effectively calling:
virStorageVolCreateXML(flags = 1);
and everything works. However, if this change would be merged, the mgmt
application would be still making the same call but now it would have
different semantic, because you are changing the numbering. So
effectively mgmt app would be calling
virStorageVolCreateXML(flags = VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_FALLOC)
which is obviously wrong. We can not expect mgmt applications to be
recompiled every time there's a new release of libvirt.

virCheckFlags() should be checked outside of this if() statement.
But hold on. How can PREALLOC_FULL be used? How can any flag be
specified in the first place? I mean
virStorageVolCreateXML(flags = VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_FULL)
boils down to
virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgCmdFromVol(flags =
