Please include output of guest-get-osinfo QEMU-GA command into bulk stats reported for domains. This feature is required for efficient consumption of qemu-ga info in oVirt.
I have posted a proposed patch series to the mailing list here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-August/msg00016.html. It adds a new virDomainGetGuestInfo() API which returns various guest parameters in a typed parameter array. This should make it possible to extend in the future without breaking API.
virDomainGetGuestInfo() patches were merged upstream.
In virsh, this information is returned in the new 'guestinfo' command.
