[virt-tools-list] [PATCH 2/3] inspection: Don't recursively try to inspect guestfs-* temporary VMs.

[Richard W.M. Jones]

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com>

This is a hack.  Should libvirt have a way to mark these VMs?

Note you'll only come across this problem if you run virt-manager as
root with libguestfs >= 1.20 on Fedora >= 18 (libguestfs using libvirt).
