    virtinst: add virtio device model and accel3d attribute
    
    Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau>

Thanks. Do you know when the next release is planned?

Try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
libvirt-python-2.0.0-1.el7.x86_64
libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-14.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Check virt-install manual page for checking 'virtio device model' is add or not.
# man virt-install
...
       --video OPTIONS
           Specify what video device model will be attached to the guest. Valid values for VIDEO are hypervisor specific, but some options for recent kvm are cirrus, vga, qxl, virtio, or vmvga (vmware).

           Use --video=? to see a list of all available sub options. Complete details at <http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsVideo>
...

# virt-install --video ?
--video options:
  accel3d
  address.base
  address.bus
  address.controller
  address.cssid
  address.devno
  address.domain
  address.function
  address.iobase
  address.irq
  address.multifunction
  address.port
  address.reg
  address.slot
  address.ssid
  address.target
  address.type
  address.unit
  clearxml
  heads
  model
  ram
  vgamem
  vram

Result-step-1:
virtio device model and accel3d attribute is added to virt-install.

2. Try to install a vm with virtio device model and enable accel3d attribute.

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start test1
otherwise, please restart your installation.

Result-step-2: 
Install vm failed with error 'unsupported configuration: virtio 3d acceleration is not supported'.

Step3: Repeat step2 with virtio device model and disable accel3d attribute.

# virt-install --name=test1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2  --location=http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/nightly/latest-RHEL-6.*/6.8/Server/x86_64/os/ --disk=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img,size=5 --video model=virtio,accel3d=no

Result-step-3:
Vm 'test1' installed and boot up with virtio video model successfully.
# virsh dumpxml test1
...
      <model type='virtio' heads='1' primary='yes'>
        <acceleration accel3d='no'/>
      </model>
      <alias name='video0'/>
...

Step4: Check from virt-manager GUI, virtio has added in 'Video Model'. 
Launch virt-manager--->Select virtual machine 'rhel6.8latest'--->Open--->'Show virtual machine details'--->change video model to 'Virtio'--->Apply--->Start vm.

Result-step-4:
vm can boot up with changing video to 'Virtio'

So Pavel Hrdina, please help check above verifying steps, especially result for step2, my question is:
Q1: If we cannot test '3d acceleration' now, i think there should have description in manual page for user, such as which package version will supports, thanks.

Q2: Whether my steps above is enough to verify this bug, it seems vm can only work with just configure video to 'Virtio'.

Is kernel 4.4-LTS enough to test it?

No it isn't.  It requires other components.  There is a repository <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kraxel/virgl/> that contains required versions that are not yet provided via distribution repositories and also you need to have at least qemu-2.5.0, libvirt-1.3.3 and virt-manager-1.4.0 on the host to make it work with virt-manager.

To make verify steps more clear, thanks for Pavel's reply.

Using package version:
libvirt-2.0.0-3.el7.x86_64
libvirt-python-2.0.0-1.el7.x86_64
virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-15.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Check virt-install manual page for checking 'virtio device model' is add or not.
# man virt-install
...
       --video OPTIONS
           Specify what video device model will be attached to the guest. Valid values for VIDEO are hypervisor specific, but some
           options for recent kvm are cirrus, vga, qxl, virtio, or vmvga (vmware).
...

Result-step-1:
virtio device model and accel3d attribute is added to virt-install.

Step2: Create a new vm with "--video model=virtio".


# virt-install --name=test1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2  --location=http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/nightly/latest-RHEL-6.*/6.8/Server/x86_64/os/ --disk=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img,size=5 --video model=virtio

Result-step-2
Vm 'test1' installed and boot up with virtio video model successfully.

# virsh dumpxml test1
...
    <video>
      <model type='virtio' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>


Step3: Check from virt-manager GUI, virtio has added in 'Video Model'. 
Launch virt-manager--->Select virtual machine 'rhel6.8latest'--->Open--->'Show virtual machine details'--->change video model to 'Virtio'--->Apply--->Start vm.

Result-step-3:
vm can boot up with changing video to 'Virtio'

VM works well with virtio video model, so move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.

I get "[drm] virgl 3d acceleration not available" after "[drm] pci: virtio-vga detected". I'm using virt-manager 1.4.0 on Arch Linux with kernel 4.7, libvirt 2.1.0 (also tried git) and qemu 2.6.0. Guest is Fedora 24.
