Bug Description
The value of libvirt_type in nova.conf is not respected when Nova launches libguestfs appliances. This can cause problems were an administrator has explicitly set libvirt_type=qemu to work around KVM issues (or to test qemu). Newer versions of libguestfs support the 'force_tcg' option to disable the use of hardware emulation.
