The new Installer class for Solaris looks fine to me, but I don't really
like the renaming of os_type to virt_type, since its conflicting naming
to the libvirt usage.

'virt type' is usually used to refer to hypervisor type, eg this bit
of the XML

  <domain type='xen'>
  <domain type='kvm'>
  <domain type='qemu'>

While 'os type' is used to refer to the Operating System guest ABI

  <os>
    <type>linux</type>  (badly named, should really be 'xen' but
                         this is more compatible with older libvirt)

   <type>hvm</type>   (native fully virt)
   <type>uml</type>   (User mode linux) 



Unfortunaltey the virt-install CLI flag is --os-type - should really
have been --os-distro-type. So I think I'd rather we changed the
insternal variables for this to be os_distro_type and os_distro_variant

This chunk looks a little questionable to me - IIRC this is reverting a fix
we previously made, so perhaps this is just a merge error.

Baiscally the existing  "extraargs" data will contain params from --extra-args
command line flag, and the 'self.extraargs' needs to append more data provided
by the DistroInstaller class, such as kickstart URL. This change means we loose
the former.

Hmm, this existing code was dubious  even before this change. method= is
the Fedora / RHEL anaconda syntax for specifying install location. It
should never havebeen in Distro class in the first place - instead it
belongs in the RedHatDistro subclass.

These new classes seeem to be more or less independant of the bit
os_type/virt_type renaming (baring the obvious fact that it uses the
new names). I've no problem add this bit right away.

This seems wrong - you should not pass "xvda:cdrom" into the libvirt
XML for a disk. There is an explicit attribute for specifying CDROM
media

    <disk type='file'  device='cdrom'>
        <source file='/some/path'/>
        <target dev='xvda'/>
   </disk>
