Guest's facts displays

Precisely，the guest that has been installed via "Virtualization Method" of PV will display "virt.uuid: Unkown".The guest that has been installed via "Virtualization Method" of HVM can display the UUID normally.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a RHEL5.8 snapshot2.0 server x86_64 Xen host and register to
candlepin.
2.Start virt-manager,install one guest (PV) on the host
3.Boot one guest,register to candlepin
5.Start virt-who service in terminal1 of host,check the output of termimal1
#service virt-who restart
Stopping virt-who:                                         [  OK  ]
Starting virt-who: Virt-who is running in libvirt mode
Starting infinite loop with 3600 seconds interval and event handling
                                                           [  OK  ]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The reported uuid of guest rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32

6.Check the virt.uuid via CLI of the "View System Facts" of
subscription-manager on guest rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32

#subscription-manager facts --list

virt.host_type: xen
xen-domU
virt.is_guest: True
virt.uuid: Unknown ^^^^^^^^The virt.uuid is unknown

Actual results:
The facts of guest's virt.uuid  displays "Unkown" via GUI and CLI.

Expected results:

The facts of guest's virt.uuid  displays 
"virt.uuid:ea898b80-5200-6ba1-6bb6-5dcd3ab07369"

virt.uuid

VERIFIED under these steps:

- Obtain rhel 5.8 Host
- Install xen on host
- Install rhel 5.8 guest on xen
- Register rhsm on host:

[root@nec-em26 ~]# subscription-manager register --user admin --pass admin --org admin
The system has been registered with id: 634c9e48-8184-48c7-8e9a-261c2fea7c08 

- Register rhsm on guest:

[root@dhcp70-146 ~]# subscription-manager register --user testuser1 --pass password --org admin
The system has been registered with id: 5f30a244-f3e6-4fc4-963c-e292a12641b2 

- Restart virt-who on host:

[root@nec-em26 ~]# service virt-who restart
Stopping virt-who: [FAILED]
Starting virt-who: [  OK  ]

- Check for a virt.uuid on guest:

[root@dhcp70-146 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep virt
virt.host_type: xen
xen-domU
virt.is_guest: True
virt.uuid: 6edad37e-8c65-03ae-a5e3-9ebcf08db2b6

- Verified that it reads the same on the GUI interface.
 (see attachment)

This was tested against:

python-rhsm-0.98.9-1.el5
subscription-manager-0.98.11-1.el5
virt-who-0.5-3.el5


virt.uuid shows and is working. Marking this VERIFIED.
