[Bug 1531191] [NEW] qemu-kvm-init script called with undefined $KVM_HUGEPAGES

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

$ grep qemu-kvm /var/log/syslog
Jan  5 10:23:24 simon-laptop qemu-kvm[497]: * Configuring kvm qemu-kvm
Jan  5 10:23:24 simon-laptop qemu-kvm[497]: /usr/share/qemu/init/qemu-kvm-init: 82: [: Illegal number:
Jan  5 10:23:24 simon-laptop qemu-kvm[497]: ...done.

Line 82 of /usr/share/qemu/init/qemu-kvm-init is:

 if [ "$KVM_HUGEPAGES" -eq "1" ]; then

This script sources /etc/default/qemu-kvm which is where the huge page
variable was set in prior releases. With Xenial, the default file is not
shipped by any package.
