[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Enable running the daemon under valgrind.

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

This commit allows you to run the daemon under valgrind.  You have to
enable it at configure time:

  ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon

This should *not* be done for production builds.

When this feature is enabled, valgrind is added to the appliance and
the daemon is run under valgrind.  Log messages from valgrind are
passed back over a virtio-serial channel into a file called
'valgrind.log.$PID' in the top build directory.

Running 'make check', 'make extra-tests' etc causes many
valgrind.log.* files to be created which must be examined by hand.

Could you stick a comment here explaining what this #ifdef is for? It's 
not obvious enough from the code.
