The test suite should pass now.

The libvirt backend now works too, modulo some issues described here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00389.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00392.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00396.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00400.html

Note you will need Cole Robinson's not-yet-upstream libvirt on ARM
patch set in order to use the libvirt backend.
