Currently there is no positive identification for ovf datasource in ds-identify. The ovf specification for iso transport only says that there will be a cdrom attached in iso9660 format, and that it would have an 'ovf-env.xml' file.

At this point, ds-identify does not do any mounting of devices, so mounting and looking for the file is not something I'd like to do if we can avoid it at all.

We now have an OVF datasource and OVF detection in ds-identify.
