This module is meant to reduce code size by performing common test procedures.
Generally, code here should look like test code.
More specifically:
    - Functions in this module should raise exceptions if things go wrong
      (unlike functions in kvm_utils.py and kvm_vm.py which report failure via
      their returned values).
    - Functions in this module may use logging.info(), in addition to
      logging.debug() and logging.error(), to log messages the user may be
      interested in (unlike kvm_utils.py and kvm_vm.py which use
      logging.debug() for everything that isn't an error).
    - Functions in this module typically use functions and classes from
      lower-level modules (e.g. kvm_utils.py, kvm_vm.py, kvm_subprocess.py).
    - Functions in this module should not be used by lower-level modules.
    - Functions in this module should be used in the right context.
      For example, a function should not be used where it may display
      misleading or inaccurate info or debug messages.

Hi Michael, I think we should also add a parameter 'vm_name' for
wait_for_login(). On the assumption that we boot more than one VMs, it's
hard to know which guest failed to login according to message above.
What do you think? :-)

The VM object ("vm" parameter) "knows" its own name.
It is a good idea to add that name to log/error messages, since we do want to 
run different tests (VMs) in parallel (although the logs should be also saved in 
different directories/files).

Regards,
     Uri.

Yes, I did ignore that we could use 'vm.name'
instead of adding a parameter for wait_for_login(). Therefore those
log/error messages could be added something like this:

if not session:
    raise error.TestFail("Could not log into guest %s" vm.name)

Thanks for pointing out that. :-)
