eede884554 guest: Set more involved clock defaults for qemu
The XML we use is:

  <clock offset="utc">
    <timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup"/>
    <timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
    <timer name="hpet" present="no"/>
  </clock>

Which translates to the qemu commands:

    -no-hpet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -rtc driftfix=slew

The latter two bits are already used by openstack and gnome boxes by
default.

On RHEL hpet is compiled out so -no-hpet is the default,
but not everywhere else. Though recently the RH guys confirmed that
for regular usage it should be turned off because a) qemu support
is not that good, b) most users don't need it anyways c) it has
a performance penalty.

This default can be overridden from a virt-install command like

  --clock rtc_tickpolicy=delay

When Guest() sees that a timer has already been defined, it won't
set the new defaults, and that setting above is the old implied
default rtc setting.

0366589812 Rip out all support for local RHEL6 version checks
These bits only apply if virt-manager is running directly on a RHEL6.
Since latest virt-manager can't do that thanks to GTK3 conversion,
just drop it all.

0bd2f97bda VirtualDisk: Try to append targets, not just use first free (bz #905439)
This used to happen:

- create VM with cdrom, cdrom gets hdc
- customize before install
- add new cdrom, gets target hda or hdb (first free target)
- new cdrom now has priority in the boot order

Change the logic to try to append targets first, and if there isn't
any space left, use the first free one. This may cause other issues
but we'll just have to wait and see.

0614e490c8 VirtualDisk: Don't try to force cdrom target=hdc
It was required a long long time ago, before qemu supported -drive

fb7868db19 Enable cache=None and io=native by default for block devices
This is where performance issues hit the most. This changes the
RHEL default to remove cache=None for all file volumes. If anyone
cares they can speak up, but it seems an overly unnecessary deviation
from upstream qemu.

9c57c72eac Default to adding USB2 for new enough KVM

9194feb1f5 virt-manager: Default to qcow2 on kvm
qcow2 enables fancy features like snapshots and is generally more
desktopy, which we purport to be.

We only do this on not horribly old libvirt/qemu, and only on qemu
connections. This may work for xen but I'm not going to turn it on
until someone tests it.

67c62e68de create: Move name to last page, arch/type to first page
Moving name to the end allows us to do things like generate a default
name based on the chosen OS type, which we do here. This is bz 736951

Moving arch/type to the front page of the wizard simplifies validation
and will be needed to intuitively install arm guests without a bunch
of hacky workarounds.

fa8422f278 support: decrease required libvirt version for stream console
According to the changelog of libvirt http://libvirt.org/news.html,
the required version for stream console should be 0.8.6.

Please check the link: http://libvirt.org/news.html, libvirt started
to support virDomainOpenConsole() since "0.8.6: Nov 30 2010". And there
were also many changes related to stream console.

In practical terms, I have tested the change with libvirtd-0.8.8 in
Ubuntu 12.04.2 (x64) and another ARM port libvird-0.8.8. I think changing
to 0.8.6 should be fine because according to the changelog there are
no big changes in libvirt-0.8.7 and libvirt-0.8.8.

6043a88a0c snapshots: Add some specific UI for external snapshots
We sort them separately in the snapshot list, explicitly mention that
they are 'external', and add a UI field listing the memory/disk
details.

In general mixing internal and external snapshots is a recipe for
confusion and disaster, so I think the best thing to do is at least
acknowledge their presence in the UI but not make any attempt to
predict what will or will not work.

07ea05365d connection: Cache _all_ support checks
This could cause issues if something like a domain support check
returns NOSUPPORT for one domain on a connection but not for another
domain, but honestly I'd call that a libvirt bug since NOSUPPORT should
be usable like we want it.
