Possible to use libgfapi with libvirt in CentOS 6.5?

Good Evening,

I have read that libgfapi has been backported to qemu-kvm in RHEL 6.5 (and by virtue CentOS and SL). However I am unable to figure out how to actually make it work as described. Virt-manager still only seems to support glusterfs volumes via fuse.

I can use qemu-img to create a disk image on gluster://<server>/<Volume>. But virt-manager can only use it from a fuse mounted fileshare. There seems to be no ability to attach in virt-manager directly to the image on glusterfs using libgfapi.

All documents I've found describe the use of the command "qemu-system-x86_64," however that command does not exist in CentOS 6.5. That appears to be the only way to start the domain using libgfapi. So basically, I can create an image via libgfapi but cannot do anything useful with it.

Should I be able to do this? If so, what's the procedure? Or is CentOS/RHEL 6.5 just not fully integrated? I really want to be able to use libgfapi and avoid the performance penalty of fuse. Should I just grab & compile the latest verisons of libvirt and qemu-kvm?
