It feels very wrong to me, because this isn't information describing a guest domain configuration. It is installation information. To me it makes more sense to keep that separate & just refer to the disk (or directory) where the results are. It could well be that we need new APIs to enumerate the list of available guest OS distributions (and the method of install, eg boot ISO, direct kenrel and initrd, or bootstrap). And perhaps an API for performing a bootstrap tasks against a disk volue (as managed by the storage APis we're developing).
