Its temporary, as at the moment most of the Resource Profiles that have 
been listed are not available or currently in the process of being 
defined by the DMTF. But as the Profiles become standard, we will update 
the provider. As the approach is generic the effort will be only a new 
struct in profiles.h

Instances of RegisteredProfile are connected via ECTP to the scoping 
class instance of the corresponding Profile. This means: the scoping 
class of the System Virtualization Profile is the CIM_System class, in 
our case the class KVM/Xen_HostSystem. The class 
VirtualSystemManagementService is part of the profile, but not the 
scoping class.
