Libguestfs - May 2019 - [PATCH 0/2] libvirt: fix check of custom QEMU

In case you configure libguestfs with a custom QEMU, e.g.:
  $ ./configure [...] QEMU=/path/to/qemu
then the libvirt backend did not use to override it, launching the
appliance with the default QEMU for libvirt.

This does not change the manual emulator overriding using set-hv.

  launch: libvirt: get default QEMU from domcapabilities
  launch: libvirt: fix custom hypervisor check

Parse the libvirt domain capabilities for the default emulator
capabilities, and get the path to the default QEMU executable.

Previously, is_custom_hv() used to compare the QEMU executable found
during configure to the hypervisor set to check whether it is a custom
one; however, the QEMU found at configure time can be different than
what libvirt was configured with.

This fixes the libvirt backend when libguestfs is configured with a
different QEMU, that now will be specified as emulator overriding the
libvirt one.

This looks good,

ACK series

Thanks,
