Title:
  QEMU hypervisor type returned when libvirt_type = kvm

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix
Status in OpenStack Manuals:
  New

Bug description:
  As the following output indicates, the QEMU hypervisor type is used
  even when libvirt_type = kvm in nova.conf.

  # grep libvirt_type /etc/nova/nova.conf
  libvirt_type = kvm
  # nova hypervisor-show 1 | grep hypervisor_type
  | hypervisor_type      | QEMU 

  It appears that the OpenStack libvirt driver uses the libvirt
  connection type to determine the hypervisor type instead of the
  libvirt_type configuration option.  Should libvirt_type be used to
  determine KVM vs QEMU hypervisor type or is there another
  configuration for this?  From a user perspective, getting the QEMU
  versus KVM hypervisor type correct is important when setting the
  hypervisor_type property on an image.
