Bug Description

There is a need to spin up an ESx host under KVM. We found that a patch is needed, and there is a fix upstream. Actually this fix is on 2.2.0 version of qemu, but we need that backported to Trusty.

Unfortunately this patch completely fails to apply to trusty, and will need to be rewritten from scratch.

If someone wants to write the patch, please leave a note here that you will do it ,and post the patch when ready. I will focus on other SRUs in the meantime, as I don't want to risk other SRUs failing because of an error in this patch.

Since the priority of this patch was 'medium', this becomes pretty much a no-go for SRU. If this functionality is very much needed in trusty (without using the cloud archive), please someone raise (or request raising) the priority to high.
