Hmm, I think this is already fixed upstream? See virtinst commit
060feeb26be4cd0ab36feca88e8a92db54b09e2

Hi Cole,
It should be commit 8060fee, so we need to backport the patch to RHEL.

Thanks,
Alex


Basically only the libvirt connection type should be sent to that function, so
it was a bug that we were sending 'kvm' at all.
