virt-install is a tool on the Red Hat distribution and on Oracle VM that uses virtlib
and primarily through a management gui.  I'm no expert but it uses the XendServer
interface, which probably results in a slightly different sequence of calls when
creating a domain.
 
Without the (small) patch, virt-install fails whenever trying to create an hvm domain.

Perhaps Daniel or someone at RedHat can confirm? 
 
Thanks,
Dan

What's virt-install? I've been able to create domains no problem.

We have found that virt-install fails to create a domain with 3.1-testing since the timer_mode patches went in.

This patch allows virt-install to run properly again.

Please apply prior to 3.1.3 release.  Though untested, it appears from source examination that the patch is also required on 3.2 and -unstable.
