Test Plans:
The qrt libvirt testsuite is to be run before every package upload.
Release Note:
* Libvirt can now be used to launch and test UEFI based VMS.
* Libvirt-qemu can now be set up in one step to use hugepages for improved performance.
Notes:
* transparent hugepages are available in 1.3, so no setup is needed for use of hugepages. Therefore blog is canceled.
* libvirt has now updated code for libxl/xenlight but it looks like the Xen packaging needs to be revised to make use of that. libxen-dev currently has none of the libxl related files.
