NB, there hasn't been any need to restart the libvirtd service
manually for a very long time now. The %post script always

Here is a patch that should fix virtlogd so that it is started
upon upgrades from libvirt < 1.3.0:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-December/msg00252.html

To test you'll obviously need to downgrade to some 1.2.x before then
installing the new 1.3.0 build
