Hi Anshul,

Thank you for the update.

Do you have a rough estimate for when this refactor might hit the codebase?
I don't expect my changes to hit 4.6 due to time constraints anyway, so if
your changes are around the corner I might as well wait.

Do you happen to know what the easiest way to redeploy systemvm.iso for
testing purposes is? Intended hypervisor is XenServer, but if it is easier
with KVM I'm open to switching.

Regards,
Erik
