Adding fields to C structs makes them ABI (binary) incompatible with
programs compiled with libvirt before this change. Same goes for the RPC
protocol.

Thus we must never add to existing structs.

I suggest you use the bulk stats API
(virConnectGetAllDomainStats/virDomainListGetStats)
which is extensible.

NACK to this patch.
