2013-09-07enable booting the guest from a local kernel directlyDaniel Kahn Gillmor
the user in control of a kvm-manager guest can now choose a kernel to boot directly by placing two files (symlinks are fine) at: ~/vms/$VMNAME/kernel ~/vms/$VMNAME/initrd This is by analogy with ~/vms/$VMNAME/cd.iso. If those two files are present, then the kvm guest will boot directly to the provided kernel rather than doing BIOS emulation that hands off control to the MBR of the first emulated disks. In this case, the first line of the contents of /etc/sv/kvm/env/CMDLINE will be passed as the kernel parameters, and no bootloader will be run.

2013-08-08enable the use of more than 4 disks (HDA through HDZ)Daniel Kahn Gillmor
note that this introduces a dependency on bash, since it uses a bashism.
2013-07-18boot=on is deprecated in wheezy, but squeeze needs it.Daniel Kahn Gillmor
despite -boot=c, squeeze's kvm will not boot the first disk if it does not have boot=on. So we have this hacky check to see if we need it.
