Image file probe will be used in identify image file os info
and <br>
generate reasonable configuration for it. <br>
This will be useful when import image and create a vm from it.

<br>
Do you mean to use libguestfs instead of our own code -
isoinfo.py? <br>
</blockquote>
No. <br>
The isoinfo.py can be replaced by linux shell command, such as
"file" or "iso" related command. <br>
But I think it is not necessary to replace it. <br>
Not sure the libguestfs can also support the same function of
isoinfo.py. If it can we can replace the <br>
isoinfo.py<br>
<br>
<br>
Here, I think<br>
<b><i>We should support create VM from an image. </i></b><br>
<b>Create a VM from image is faster than ISO. </b><br>
So when we create a image from image, we had better to know the
OS distro and version.<br>
<br>
There are several sources of an image. <br>
1. local image<br>
<br>
2. remote image. Same as Openstack glance.<br>
Now all OS distro support both remote ISO and image.<br>
<br>
3. create one from a VM.<br>
User may take several snapshots for a VM. <br>
this way we had better to merge all snapshots to one.<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe we should support a image-template pool. <br>
move the above type images to this pool.<br>
<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
for remote image should we support steaming install？ <br>
