Re: [Kimchi-devel] [PATCH V2] Avoid useless libvirt error log produced by featuretests

I mean a 'False' can't tell us whether it's because of 'protocol type error' or not, Maybe it's another error from libvirt, for example, the ISO_STREAM_XML is deprecated and can not work with new version of ibvirt. So i don't think the backend can handle this correctly.

Frist, this exception got raised is not a 'protocol type error' and we don't know what it is. Second, the error handler of libvirt is got replaced, and the error message will not show now, then we won't see it. As Cristian pointed out, it's good to just hide the "protocol" error", but not them all.

After Featuretest, the default error handler will be restored. The default error handler(in libvirtmod.so) just do one thing, it prints the error message to stderr before we catch the exception in python.
