I'd be fine with this change if the actual code used the preferred name too :-).
E.g. config containing
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>xen</type>
will be shown as
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
after virsh define; virsh dumpxml. Also, virsh domxml-from-native will produce
the linux variant.
Regards,
Jim
