Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Use 'qemu-system-i386' as binary instead of 'qemu'.

I have added the attached patch to Fedora because Fedora (only?) renames 'qemu' to 'qemu-system-i386'. As a result of this, on 32 bit Fedora would run 'qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -cpu qemu32'. In fact this caused no issues (I originally added the patch because I suspected this was a cause of RHBZ#857026, but that doesn't appear to be the case). But if we're going to package qemu-system-i386 we might as well run it. The alternative would be to delete that binary altogether if it does nothing useful ...
