Description of problem:
Can't boot into OS after converting rhel6 guest to openstack by v2v

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-2.0.7-4.el9.x86_64
libguestfs-1.48.4-1.el9.x86_64
guestfs-tools-1.48.2-5.el9.x86_64
nbdkit-server-1.30.8-1.el9.x86_64
libnbd-1.12.6-1.el9.x86_64
libvirt-libs-8.5.0-5.el9.x86_64
qemu-img-7.0.0-10.el9.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Convert a rhel6 guest from VMware to openstack by v2v
# virt-v2v -ic vpx://root.73.141/data/10.73.75.219/?no_verify=1 -it vddk -io vddk-libdir=/home/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib -io vddk-thumbprint=1F:97:34:5F:B6:C2:BA:66:46:CB:1A:71:76:7D:6B:50:1E:03:00:EA -o openstack -oo server-id=v2v-appliance  esx6.7-rhel6.10-x86_64  -ip /home/passwd  -v -x |& tee > convert-rhel6.10-guest-to-openstack.log
█ 100% [****************************************]

2.Launch the volume as instance after v2v finishing conversion, check guest but find guest can't boot info OS, pls refer to screenshot'rhel6.10-cannot-boot-into-os-on-osp16.png'

3.Check xml info of the guest on compute node, found rhel6 guest has no 'model='virtio-transitional' in disk part
# virsh dumpxml instance-00000071
<domain type='kvm' id='53'>
  <name>instance-00000071</name>

      <alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x03' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>
 ......


Actual results:
As above description

Expected results:
Can boot into OS after converting rhel6 guest to openstack by v2v

Additional info:
1.Can't reproduce the bug when convert rhel6 guest to local and rhv because these scenarios have been fixed in bug 1942325 - Virt-v2v should add 'model='virtio-transitional' to RHEL <=6 guest virtio devices during conversion if target is rhel9 system
Comment 2 Laszlo Ersek 2022-08-15 10:47:22 UTC 
This is correctly observed. In the patch series for bug 1942325, we only
modified the libvirt output.

The reason we didn't modify the openstack output was *not* an oversight;
I discussed it explicitly in
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1942325#c12>:

> * The OpenStack output *could* be affected (as OpenStack internally

I've just re-checked the docs of the latest openstack release (yoga):

  https://docs.openstack.org/glance/yoga/admin/useful-image-properties.html

and it still does not make any reference to virtio transitional / legacy.

So I think we'd first need an RFE for openstack -- or someone to educate
us on whether (or how) openstack deals with RHEL-6 guests already.

Setting "Devel Cond-NAK: Design" for now, due to the dependency on OpenStack unknowns.
