Update machine types for qemu on RHEL

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • While trying to make use of discard/fstrim to work within qemu/kvm for an image builder it has been found that the newer machine-types are not supported
  • This makes the process of reducing size of images, a lenghty and space consuming process as post-processing of each image is required to do zero filling.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
