libvirtd is broken with diskless domains

kvm command line:
/usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -monitor pty -no-acpi -drive -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:12:34:57,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=11,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet1 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0

This is a reference bug that soren knows about.

This should be reproduced on karmic as well to verify if this is fixed or not.

This was reported a long time ago when I was patching the ovirt.org virtual machine build scripts to run in Ubuntu. This should have been fixed in upstream sometime ago.
