This fixes incorrect xenstore-read binary path, this failed systemvm to be patched/started correctly on xenserver. The other fix is to keep the xen-domU flag that may be returned by virt-what. This effect won't change the cmdline being consumed as the mgmt server side (java) code sets the boot args in both xenstore and as pv args. The systemvm's /boot is ext2 that can be booted by PyGrub on both old and recent XenServer versions. Signed-off-by: Rohit Yadav <rohit.yadav@shapeblue.com>

Introduction
This is used to build appliances for use with CloudStack. Currently two build profiles are available for building systemvmtemplate (Debian based) and CentOS based built-in user VM template.
Setting up Tools and Environment
-
Install packer and latest KVM, qemu on a Linux machine
-
Install tools for exporting appliances: qemu-img, ovftool, faketime
-
Build and install
vhd-utilas described in build.sh or use pre-built binaries at:http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/vhd-util http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/libvhd.so.1.0
How to build appliances
Just run build.sh, it will export archived appliances for KVM, XenServer,
VMWare and HyperV in dist directory:
bash build.sh systemvmtemplate
bash build.sh builtin
