Title:
  xenapi: determine_is_pv should be fixed to have a safer default of HVM

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The auto PV detection was removed as part of this bug:
  https://code.launchpad.net/bugs/1196570

  We should consider removing the check for the disk type and simply
  have a check like:

  If os_type = linux then
    PV
  else
    HVM

  Defaulting to PV is a bit unsafe, as HVM is more likely to work for
  things that have no vm_mode (already checked before this code, should
  probably try and pull that code into the above method) and no os_type
  flags.
