Bugzilla Bug 237147

Description of problem:
python-virtinst and virt-manager don't work when creating FC4 para-virtual guests, but they only can create FC5/FC6 (x86_64) on my 64bit machine. I looked into some codes, and I found it looks for "images/xen" which is not in FC4 tree. (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtguest.py). I think it also looks for host's OS version to decide which version (32/64bit) will be installed.
