I'd be fine with this change if the actual code used the preferred name too
:-). E.g. config containing
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>xen</type>
will be shown as
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
after virsh define; virsh dumpxml. Also, virsh domxml-from-native will
produce the linux variant.
I was thinking about this and decided to left it intact for backward
compatibility - so config from `virsh dumpxml` will work with very old
libvirt version. But if that would be acceptable, I'd very much like to
change that too. What are opinions about that?
