When you say "the main binaries", are we talking about small helper
processes that do narrow, well-defined privileged operations, or a
long-running service that is responsible for general VM setup (like
libvirtd in libvirt), or a long-running process per VM (like the qemu
processes in libvirt) or the entire GUI, or what?
