BTW, I've got a question about libxl cleanup/garbage collection, etc.

So, in the code below:

Do I need this call to libxl_bitmap_dispose(), to avoid leaking what
libxl_cpu_bitmap_alloc() did upon return, or does libxl cleans this up
for me? :-)

As you can see, I'm talking about the case where I'm inside libxl (i.e.,
within libxl__build_pre() )
