custom-emulator-path

Registered by Tadas Ustinavičius

OpenStack lacks ability to define custom path to emulator. Nova will always use the default path defined by libvirt.
This makes impossible to use custom built qemu emulators in non-default system paths.
This patch solves this problem. Additional option is added to nova.conf [libvirt] section:

[libvirt]
emulator_path = /path/to/qemu

If configured, nova will omit libvirt's default emulator path and use custom one.
