@Lars: Just to clarify: 'force_tcg' doesn't _disable_ use of hardware acceleration. It's an environment variable that will force libguestfs appliance to use software emulation.

From its man page[1]

    export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg

    which will force the 'direct' and 'libvirt' backends to use TCG (software emulation) instead of KVM (hardware accelerated virtualization).
