Use the libvirt that ships with RHEL6, or apply the RHEL6 specific

It isn't sustainable for upstream projects to deal with hacks for
every crazy non-upstream change that distros make. If distros choose
to change things in ways that diverge from upstream behaviour, then
it is their job to maintain the fixes for other code which breaks
as a result.
That still doesn't explain why the libvirt test system is checking the
'non-standard' versions of RHEL6 qemu then.
Why is that code there if you are not supporting that 'hack'?
