Perhaps "region" is required when using a public provider like
Rackspace? It's not required for my private cloud from Metacloud. I
suspect a lot of private clouds have only a single region and thus don't
need "region" to be specified.
On CentOS7, ``pc-1.0'' qemu-kvm machine type are not supported.
Supported machines are:
none empty machine

* Using 'tcg' as accelerator for qemu-system allows packer to run in a
virtual machine as no kvm or xen support is needed.
* Also document the default behavior if no accelerator is given in the
documentation.
mount /dev/xvdf /mnt/point
while for an HVM image that is attached to /dev/sdf, its mount command is
mount /dev/xvdf1 /mnt/point
so this code enabled that
This reduces the number of simultaneous packer runs possible significantly, but unless you are Netflix, who have Aminator anyway, this is probably never going to be an issue
