Bug Description
Using virt-installer with libvirt/libxl in 14.04 I saw this:
# virt-install --connect=xen:/// --name u14.04 --ram 1024 --disk U1L1.img,size=2 --location http://
Starting install...
Retrieving file MANIFEST...

Connected to domain u14.04
Escape character is ^]
error: internal error: cannot find character device <null>
It turns out this was fixed in libvirt 1.2.4; c/s

)
Would it be possible to backport that change into 14.04, so
virt-install can be used to install PV guests?

The libvirt version in utopic (1.2.5) already contains that change.
