[Bug 510658] Re: error : qemudWritePidFile:498 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

[Loïc Minier]

a) shouldn't libvirtd handle this by itself as the other daemons do?  I
realize upstart is in the proper position to know that the service
crashed, but upstart doesn't care about the pid file

b) perhaps this:
[ -f /var/run/libvirtd.pid ] && rm -f /var/run/libvirtd.pid
could simply be:
rm -f /var/run/libvirtd.pid

c) pidof /usr/sbin/libvirtd seems fragile to me; upstart must really
have a good reason if it starts the libvirt-bin job; either this tests
for an upstart bug, or this might match a locally started libvirtd; in
either case, I don't think this test is needed.
