Hmm, the patch you presented is actually for virt-image,
not virt-install. The current upstream for virt-install
should already have this resolved though, attempting to
remedy the issue in two ways:

1) If no virt type is specified, we default to the first
   capabilities entry matching the host's architecture.
   For xen this is PV, but for qemu (even w/ xenner
   present) this defaults to hvm with qemu hostarch
   binary.

2) The error message is now
   "Unsupported virtualization type %foo for arch %blah"
   Which will hopefully point out any errors.

That said we do need an equivalent change for ImageManager/
virt-image so I'll see about centralizing the current code
for use by both apps.

Thanks,
Cole
