kvm - libvirt - clock and cpu settings for windows guests

[sperlab]

The xml produced by veewe should include

    <pae/>
    <hyperv>
      <relaxed state='on'/>
      <vapic state='on'/>
      <spinlocks state='on' retries='4095'/>
    </hyperv>

and

  <clock offset='localtime'>
    <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup' track='guest'/>
    <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/>
    <timer name='hpet' present='no'/>
  </clock>

for windows guests for them to reduce cpu usage and to handle clock properly.

looks like something around here https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/blob/master/lib/veewee/provider/kvm/box/create.rb#L39-L53 - can you experiment and open a pull request if you find proper way to do this?

Seems unsupported from ruby libvirt API.
Will try the "XML Nokogiri" style to stick with ruby.
Should do the trick, having already done such with command line sed.

any progress on this? is there anything that can be done in veewee?
