libvirt's udev interface backend (RHEL 9 and later, Debian 12) only reads
interfaces, so the create form and the start, stop and delete buttons
only failed there. The pages ask the host with an invalid definition,
which defines nothing: a backend without define refuses it as not
supported. There they show the interface state and a note instead, and
posts change nothing; the host's devices, needed only by the create
form, are not read. Any other answer keeps the pages as they were.
The interfaces page read the XML of every node device (183 on a test host)
to keep the network ones; libvirt now lists only those. Same names on both
test hosts, 756 -> 261 ms over TCP and 475 -> 173 ms over SSH.
The overview read the host's info four times, now once (12 libvirt calls).
A connection object keeps it next to the capabilities, and the VM page and
VM stats take it from there; the VM page's cached_reads block holds only
the VM's own data. Free memory is still read each time.
