But that's okay.  In general, we try to promise that:

old qemu + old libvirt works
new qemu + new libvirt works
old qemu + new libvirt works
new qemu + old libvirt is untested, and may require a libvirt upgrade

In other words, as long as you update your stack from top down (libvirt
before qemu), you should be fine.
