After installing some systemd package, and starting up machine.slice,
systemd-machined, and hard rebooting the vm from openstack side, I
could now see the VM showing up under machine.slice. all vms were
showing up under libvirtd.service, which is under system.slice.

What are the benefits of running libvirt managed guest instances under
machine.slice?
