Libvirt is supposed to support all versions of qemu that were stable at
the time of the particular libvirt release.  Therefore, libvirt 0.9.11
and later should support qemu 1.1 and earlier; libvirt.git (the upcoming
libvirt 0.10.0) will support qemu 1.2 and earlier.  Generally, the only
time you run into problems is when you upgrade qemu but not libvirt; but
the other direction (upgrading libvirt but not qemu) should just work
(if it doesn't, please report it as a bug).

Not really, although you may want to mimic what your distro did.
