[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Create VMs Asynchronously

[Christy Perez]

v3 Changes:
Instead of adding a description key to the task, just
append the action desciptor to the target_uri.

If a guest has a large disk, and uses a filesystem that requires
preallocation, it can take several minutes to create a VM. During that
time, kimchi is tied up by the VM creation.

This patch changes the VMs Collection to be an AsyncCollection.

Another change required for this was to create a more granular way to
query tasks. Currently it is not possible (using the API) to query tasks
for the same collection or resource type that may have different operations.
For example, VM cloning is also an asynchronous operation. For the guests tab,
the UI was querying all running tasks and displaying them with the Cloning
label. This picked up VMs that were being created as well. For more information
about how the tasks can be queried, see the updated API doc and the UI change.
