We have removed the local hostname from /etc/hosts pointing to 127.0.1.1 or any other address in 127.0.0.0/8, we only keep 127.0.0.1 for localhost in there. Every other name is resolved by our internal DNS.

The loop above just waits until the DNS answers and the hostname can be resolved. Otherwise libvirtd refuses to start.

We have reasons not to resolve the hostname to a 127.0.0.0/8 address.
