To add more background^2: OVF has the notion of an 'activation
engine',
which includes passing some XML to the VM via a CD-ROM. Depending on
where OVF support is on the ovirt roadmap, we could support user data
injection that way.
Unfortunately oVirt modified ovirt in ways that make it not really usable as an API for
passing to the hypervisor.
