I forgot to resend this :/

The attached patch adds the above simplification and is diff'd against
the current codebase. Still haven't looked at actually parsing the hvm
guest xml, but that part isn't neccessary for this change to be useful
for the userspace tools (currently you cannot run virt-install with the
test driver without this change).

Thanks,
