Catch-22 problem....  if you have suggestions let me know.

libvirt requires a keytab to work properly.  The code that is executing is 
code to GET the keytab.  Therefore this must execute prior to libvirt. 
Bad design...

We're probably going to change the startup sequence to be like this 
instead (but this will have to happen after summit)

1. ovirt init script starts so keytab could get retrieved
2. libvirt start
3. another ovirt initscript starts to give hardware info to ovirt server

Thoughts?
