There were multiple problems with the setting and usage of
hide_unsupported_rhel_options. Due to the fact that the option has
several diferent namings throughout the code, this patch is renaming
it to stable_defaults, which basically says what the option does and
makes it possible to use it without need for more than one negation
(where the old code had up to 4 of them in some places), which also
helps understanding it.

On first run, the remote URL install handling creates a storage pool
for /var/lib/libvirt/boot on the remote host. After this, it clears
the VirtualConnection's object cache, so the next time all pools are
fetched, it returns an accurate list.
However that clear_cache call wasn't propagated up to virt-manager's
cache. Add a new cb to fix it.
If we didn't set values for @type and @iobase in
XML, libvirt will use the default value.
Currently, virt-manager will display "-" if we don't
set any values.
This patch will use default value for display.
And update test case to cover this scenario.

This could cause issues for people trying unattended non-graphical
kickstart installs and expecting ttyS0 in the guest to be hooked
up to the default console. So to get back the default behavior, you
can do:
--console pty
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.
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.
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.
It was required a long long time ago, before qemu supported -drive
and possibly ancient xen. Nowadays it should be pointless, and contributes
to some issues like bz 905439
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.
The patches to drop /dev/loop0 meant get_blkdisk was inaccurate and
we weren't testing many things that were intended. Use a block disk
from the test driver.
