The required xml is not libvirt domain xml, but an xml with root
element "<image>" (which is called "virt-image" format), virt-image
somehow is an succession of virt-convert. E.g. you can convert
VMware vm in vmx format to "virt-image" format first, and then
use virt-image to create the VM under kvm.
