The fact is that today we return guest information in list(Full=true), We 
decide on it's notion
and it seems like we already made our minds when guest info was added there :) 
. I don't see any harm in returning the disk mapping there
and if we'll want to extract the guest info out, we can extract all of it in 
later version (4?) without need for BC. Having
the information spread between different verbs is no better imo.

Fede, I've mentioned in the wiki, getVmStats is called by the engine every few 
seconds and therefore that info
wasn't added there but to list() which is called only when the hash is changed. 
If everyone is in for that simple
solution i'm fine with that, but Michal/Vincenz preferred it that way.
