The interesting this is this line:

2015-08-06 21:14:56.847+0000: 8037: info : qemuMonitorIOProcess:452 : QEMU_MONITOR_IO_PROCESS: mon=0x7f9477cc0fc0 buf={"return": "2015-08-06T21:14:56.847359Z Device 'drive-virtio-disk4' not found\r\n", "id": "libvirt-12"}

Notice how the data read from the monitor command has a timestamp
prefixed on it. This is very bad. We absolutely do not expect to
see a timestamp on HMP monitor replies, so whatever is doing that
in QEMU needs fixing.

AFAIK, QEMU is only supposed to add timestamps to stuff it prints
on stderr, when -msg timestamp=on. It should never timestamp HMP
