Greetings,

A question came up a couple days ago on the users list about provisioning
Windows VMs with Virtio enabled on KVM:
http://markmail.org/thread/g42vr63dolaa56yv

The workaround mentioned was to set the OS Type to "Other PV". This seems
non-optimal. Is there a better solution? Or is this a bug/enhancement?

Looking around at the source, isGuestPVEnabled() seems to have a hard coded
list of guest OS which will get virtio provisioned by default. No Windows
OS's are in the list, presumably because the virtio drivers don't ship
natively with Windows. Is there some other way to control what type of
virtual NIC and disk controller hardware gets provisioned on a per-VM or
per-template basis?

Regards,

 - Chris
