Bug 548131

Description of problem:
I downloaded a domU guest and kernel (Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit) from
http://www.stacklet.com/
Created a libvirt xml file, defined the domain and tried to start it.
Using libvirt domain does not start because xenner does not recognize all the command line arguments.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xenner 0.46

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
# su -
# yum install xen xenner
# /etc/init.d/xenner start
$ ### download a domU guest image and kernel (Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit) from
http://www.stacklet.com/
# cd /var/lib/libvirt/images
# vi ubuntu-domU.xml  #create libvirt config
# virsh define ubuntu-domU.xml
# virsh start ubuntu-domU

  
Actual results:


libvirt generates a bad xenner command line.  Here is the F11 domain log:

xenner v0.46 -- run xen kernels in kvm

usage: xenner [options]
options (qemu compatible):
  -help                    print this text

  -vnc        <display>    vnc display (needs qemu-dm from xen-tools)

options (xenner only):
  -domid      <id>         set domain id

  -network    <mac>,<br>   xenner style network setup

  -bootloader <app>        set bootloader
  -cap-on     <name>       enable kvm features
  -cap-off    <name>       disable kvm features
  -nostderr                send messages to logfile only
  -dumpcore                don't catch fatal signals (sigsegv, sigbus)
  -libvirt-caps            print libvirt capability xml snippet

pick device model:
  -qemu-path  <file>       path to qemu binary
  -qemu-dm                 qemu is xensource qemu-dm
  -qemu-upstream           qemu is upstream+patches
              => http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/patches/

Some more qemu-ish options are accepted but ignored,
so we don't error out when started by libvirt.

When started without kernel specified xenner tries to
get one using the bootloader (pygrub by default).
