Starting a guest with libvirt works fine, libvirt is able to find the
qemu binary. (Well, libxl can...)
Here is an osstest flight starting an HVM guest with libvirt:
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/136701/test-amd64-amd64-libvirt-qemuu-debianhvm-amd64/info.html
Maybe the issue is that I need to rebuild `libvirt-python' and
`virt-manager' packages?

I can certainly move the binary from "/usr/lib64" to "/usr/lib", and
hope it doesn't break anything, with Xen 4.10 packages the qemu binary
is in /usr/lib64. But to be honest I don't know which is best for CentOS
between "lib64" and "lib".
