What's needed to test

 * A fully updated Fedora 12 Rawhide machine. See instructions on the main test day page.
 * At least one guest image installed before the test day (suggested reading - Virtualization_Quick_Start)

How to test
Testing this feature is very straightforward:


 * 1) Edit an existing guests configuration using
 * 2) Set the   attribute to   e.g.
 * 
 * hvm
 * 1) Check the newly saved configuration using
 * 2) Verify the   attribute is now   e.g.
 * 
 * hvm
 * 1) Start the guest and verify that it boots correctly as before
 * 
 * hvm
 * 1) Start the guest and verify that it boots correctly as before
 * 1) Start the guest and verify that it boots correctly as before

That's it! The idea is that we record the ABI version number of the  machine type in the guest configuration so that when qemu is updated in future, we will continue using the same ABI.
