The API user should pass in an nvlist, where a set of the names are defined and known about. The response needs to indicate whether it's a preferred setting ("would like virtio") or a required one.
I can see doing something like
os_info_set_install_prop(os_info_t info, int prop, char *propval)
So the API user might do:
os_info_set_install_prop(myinfo, OS_INSTALL_VIRT_TYPE, "hvm"); os_info_set_install_prop(myinfo, OS_INSTALL_ARCH, "x86_64"); os_info_set_install_prop(myinfo, OS_INSTALL_HV_TYPE, "kvm");
This isn't going to work as we most definitely have more than one value of all of these settings.
Instead we need to pass in a list of "environments". Each one would specify a particular combination of the values above (along with a 'preferred' setting methinks).
