Prior to booting your instance, Nova uses libguestfs to check the image
to see whether it can be dynamically resized or not.  Libguests starts
up a qemu instance, which is what you are seeing.

This guestfs-XXX instance should disappear once Nova has finished
inspecting the image and you should see the normal Nova instance with
the -vnc flag, etc.
