If guest name is used (which is default case) the kvm might end
up carrying the pointer to name which is allocated on stack.
kvm_cmd_run_init
(on stack) default_name
kvm__init(..., default_name)
kvm->name = default_name
So I think better to allow kvm to carry own copy
of guest name. 64 symbols should be more than enough.

I hope I didn't miss anything?

Can't we just use strdup()?

Please fix the struct definition and drop the cast.

I believe having it as const char * might save us some
