> When you create a Centos 7 vm by choosing os type as CentOS7 then the created vm did not use virtio it uses old hda/ide access technique and this problem makes Centos 7 vm's to boot slowly(nearly 30 seconds wait after grub stage passed) and after system boots disk performance is not sufficient when you compare to virtio. 
> When i change this value to virtio from libvirt i noticed that vm boots fast with higher performance.
> Below are example libvirt disk access techniques for both CentOS 7 and Ubuntu Trusty 14.04
> Example CentOS7 libvirt disk part:
>     <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm-spice</emulator>
>     <disk type='network' device='disk'>
>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
>       <auth username=xx'>
>         <secret type='ceph' uuid='xsw'/>
>       </auth>
>       <source protocol='rbd' name='jacknode/4e2cd1be-5c7f-43ff-b44b-bf9f87e84b19'>
>         <host name='172.16.44.22' port='6789'/>
>       </source>
>       <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
>       <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
>     </disk>
> Example Ubuntu Trusty libvirt disk part:
>     <disk type='network' device='disk'>
>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
>       <auth username='xx'>
>         <secret type='ceph' uuid='xsw'/>
>       </auth>
>       <source protocol='rbd' name='xx/cfafb241-b9c7-4d41-acdc-aac937d96a19'>
>         <host name='172.16.44.22' port='6789'/>
>       </source>
>       <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
>     </disk>
