[Libvirt-cim] [PATCH 00/10] cimtest: changes for controller and upstream support

[Xu Wang]

Dear John,
I just found an issue on RHEL-6.5. The reproduce steps,
1. Install a pure RHEL-6.5 system and just use rhn updates from RedHat.
2. Install and config libvirt-cim/cimtest just like before.
3. Run cimtest, you will find lots of testcases failed like this,
InvodeMethod(DefineSystem): CIM_ERR_FAILED: Failed to define domain:
internal error Unknown controller type 'pci' with return code 1

The root cause of error is, default version of qemu-kvm from RHEL-6.5 is 
0.12.1.2-2,
too old for <controller type='pci' ...> (got that conclusion from link 
http://libvirt.org
/formatdomain.html#elementsControllers). In my opinion, we should take 
it into consideration,
or things like that will happen to the users who installed system like 
that because not everyone
will update qemu to the newer version. My suggestion is, shall we adjust 
cimtest a little?
Add a version checking into cimtest or just use another parameter 
replace it (type='pci')?

Thanks,
Xu Wang
