Hi folks,
I ran across a problem where virtualized installs with koan using KVM
on F-7 result in a guest that can't be restarted post-install.
Here's a patch to the virtinst library from Dan Berrange to fix that.

To review, the syntax to install via KVM with a newer cobbler/koan is:
koan --virt [--virt-type=qemu] --profile=profile_name
--server=bootserver.example.com
You can use the same profiles that you use to boot baremetal to install
via qemu/KVM, don't use the ones with "xen" kernels.
Note that you can also set --virt-type in cobbler, or even change the
default virt type in /var/lib/cobbler/settings to default all
new installs with koan to use KVM.
