changes in v3:

- use rpm instead of yum
This installs packages with QEMU Guest Agent when converting Linux machine. The
packages should be available on guest tools ISO. The patches work "as-is" but
probably deserve some more attention:
- it is "abusing" Winows_virtio code but renaming/refactoring everything to
remove "windows" from the name and use "guest tools" seems like a
lot of
unnecesary work
I didn't mean the comment to mean it was abusing Windows_virtio. It
was just a surprise since at the moment Convert_windows is the only
consumer of the Windows_virtio code. However the change is still
correct so this doesn't matter, and maybe we can rename the module in
future.
- support for Debian is missing
I don't know how to install the package only when all it's dependencies are
already installed. dpkg cannot be used to check that (simulate the install).
And attempting to install the package will leave it half-installed (dpkg
cannot roll-back).
Will we actually have Debian packages on the ISO?
BTW do we actually have an example of the new ISO or virtio-win.rpm I
can test against?
Rich.
