** Summary changed: - libvirt_type=qemu is not honored + domain type is always 'kvm', even when kvm is not available
** Description changed: On a new 12.10 install following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/TestingOpenStack, if I set 'libvirt_type=qemu', restart nova and then try to start an instance, I can see in /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log that it is defaulting to 'kvm' and not 'qemu'. I then end up with the following error: 2012-07-30 14:55:48 TRACE nova.openstack.common.rpc.amqp libvirtError: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' - This might be a problem in libvirt or kvm_intel on the host.
