[Libguestfs] Issue with libguestfs-test-tool on a guest hosted on VMWare ESXi

[Tanmoy Sinha]

Even though force_tcg works, I intend not to run it on emulation. Is there
way I can run it over kvm? The other observation is, without force_tcg if I
use the machine type as  *pc-i440fx-2.**1*,accel=kvm it works fine. The
default machine type for my host *pc-i440fx-2.8, *which seems to crib.
