Use a vdsm-hook to write vmname into some bios field, then one-time
init-script inside template to configure your vm as you need.
Thanks a lot, Yuriy.
That's an interesting solution you came up with. Although I'm unsure if
I like to use bios fields for this. Beside this "little bios hack"
you're doing the same as with payloads except you're properly using
dmidecode in your init-script to get the vm name instead of mounting a
floppy and reading content of a file.
