Well your host OS has run out of memory, so pretty much everything will be fubar at this point. If it can't even fork() then there's not much libvirt until this is resolved. libvirt tries to handle OOM scenario but there's some places we might have missed, but even so, the best libvirt can do is to drop all further requests as gracefully as possible.
