[Bug 571093] [NEW] libvirtd eats away more memory over time

[Alvin]

Public bug reported:

libvirtd fills the memory, until the libvirtd process gets killed. This happens over a long time.
- This server (info by ubuntu-bug) has 4GB of memory and an uptime of 27 days. Some KVM machines have been active during that period. The last 4 days before the crash, no virtual machine was running on the server, but libvirtd slowly filled memory.
- Another server has 32 GB of memory and active virtual machines. It took a few weeks more until memory was completely filled.

Steps to reproduce:
- Start libvirtd
- Wait a long time
