Optional:
* `accelerator` (string) - The accelerator type to use when running the VM.
This may have a value of either "kvm" or "xen" and you must have that
support in on the machine on which you run the builder.
* `boot_command` (array of strings) - This is an array of commands to type
when the virtual machine is first booted. The goal of these commands should
be to type just enough to initialize the operating system installer. Special

* `format` (string) - Either "qcow2" or "img", this specifies the output
format of the virtual machine image. This defaults to "qcow2".

This may have a value of either "kvm" or "xen" and you must have that
support in on the machine on which you run the builder.
* `headless` (bool) - Packer defaults to building virtual machines by
launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine being built.
When this value is set to true, the machine will start without a console.
