Currently, the kernel_url_arg is get based on the cached data. However,
when the cached data is created, the store is already set to a "generic"
distro and the os_variant is not respected when getting the
kernel_url_arg.
In order to avoid ignoring os_variant when looking up the kernel_url_arg,
let's also take into the consideration the the os_variant passed via
command line, which was used to set Guest's osinfo name, returning then
the expected value to the caller.

When the user explicitly passes --os-variant via command line, its value
must be respected, always.
By setting the os name earlier, we force the os-variant to be respected
when the installer creates the Distro Store.

When running virt-install as root, user-login would be automatically set
to "root", causing an installation failure in the most part of the
distros (if not all of them).
In order to avoid such failures, let's raise a runtime error in case the
user-login used is "root".

Let's allow setting the login of the guest user.
Using the user from the system is a quite good fallback, but would break
unattended installations when running virt-install as root. Thus, for
those cases, it makes sense to have the option of setting the user
login.

This ensures the Guest object domcaps cache is primed as well, which

During startup virtinst.StoragePool.build_default_pool() tries to
determine whether the default storage pool already exists. Because
events have not yet been processed, the list of existing storage pools
is still empty. Therefore it seems as if it does not exist yet and
build_default_pool() falls back to creating it which causes an error
message from libvirtd in the system log:
libvirtd: operation failed: pool 'default' already exists with uuid.
Move default pool creation after event processing to avoid these
redundant creation attempts.

With libvirt-python >= 4.4.0 and libvirt < 4.4.0 we would receive
libvirt.libvirtError exception because the python binding knows about
the function but it's not supported by libvirt. However, in case that
the python binding is older then 4.4.0 it will raise AttributeError
because the function is not implemented in python binding as well.

The reason we're only dealing with pre-installable drivers here is that

Similarly to what has been done for _device_filter(), let's add
"extra_args" parameter to support_* methods so we can pass them down to

Only supports_virtio* methos would actually need the extra argument, but
let's be consistent here and add it to all supports_* methods.

Let's add "extra_devs" to _device_filter() so we can pass a list of

By doing this, we also expand the _device_filter() check and take those
into account when they're passed.
That's exactly the case of pre-installable drivers for Microsoft

supported_unattended_drivers() was originally added as a way to tell
whether a guest could support pre & post installable drivers.
This is wrong for two reasons:
- virt-install cannot deal with post-installable drivers/agents;
- pre-installable drivers are the only ones needed in order to perform
an unattended installation taking advantage of virtio-win drivers;
Knowing that, let's only check for pre-installable drivers in
supported_unattended_drivers().

osinfo-db may contain files pointing to local paths, which will have the
format 'file:///usr/share/...'.
With the current code, virt-install would just bail as it doesn't
understand the 'file://' schema. Let's start using urllib (which is
already imported in the very same file) and parse the URL so both
'file:///usr/share/...' and '/usr/share/...' would work.

QEMU version 2.12.1 introduced a performance feature under commit
be7773268d98 ("target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint").
Support for this performance hint was added in libvirt 5.7.0 by commit
cb12c59dac04 ("qemu: support for kvm-hint-dedicated performance hint").
This patch extends virt-install's existing --features option to insert the
appropriate XML into the guest definition if this feature is specified
on the command line.
E.g. --features='kvm.hint-dedicated.state=on' would result
in the following XML:
<features>
...
<kvm>
<hint-dedicated state='on'/>
</kvm>
...
</features>
