  Which namespace does Linux_ComputerSystem live in? The enum of Linux_ComputerSystem
  return NULL:

 [root@elm** ~]# wbemcli ein http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Linux_ComputerSystem
*
* wbemcli: Cim: (5) CIM_ERR_INVALID_CLASS: Linux_ComputerSystem
*

 Since the namespace of Linux_ComputerSystem is different from the others, how to set
 CIM_NS twice in one test case? That is to say, I have to set CIM_NS as /root/virt when I enum
 HostSystem, then the namespace have to be set others when I enum Linux_ComputerSystem in
 one test case.

 Thanks!
