[et-mgmt-tools] Virt-Manager: Supporting additional para-virtual OS's

I've been trying to add support for additional para-virtual operating 
systems (OpenSolaris and Debian) to virt-manager.  There is no problem 
getting the initial kernel and ramdisk, however there is no way to 
specify the target disk node based on the OS or distro.  Also some OS's 
don't support the virtual frame buffer driver but there is no way to 
prevent the XML for it being created.

I can't see how this could be done without doing some major 
restructuring of the code and creating a new class to encapsulate all 
the target specific information.  Is there any plan on doing something 
like this?  If someone were to do it, are the changes likely to be 
incorporated?
