Upstream libvirt does not support driving the RHEL-6 qemu anyways (at
least from the latest releases) as it diverged significantly from
upstream. Upstream will e.g. not be able to see that JSON monitor needs
to be used with that old version or that the downstream implementations
of some commands need to be used.

Using upstream libvirt on rhel6 without upstream qemu is nonsense. The
argument that you might want new features with the "stability" of the
old OS is wrong if you pull in bugs from upstream.
