> The {{libvirt.pm}} and {{KVM.pm}} provisioning modules are hard-coded to configure VMs with an IDE disk and the default rtl8139 network interface.  If an image is captured from a VM which is configured with better devices such as virtio, VMs created from the image should also be configured with the same device types.
> The capture sequence will need to be extended to save the captured VM's hardware in a text file.  There is already code to do so.
> The load sequence will be extended to read the text file for the image revision if it exists and use the values it contains.
