Libvirt only looks into precompiled locations (default to /usr/bin) if
you fail to specify an explicit location; but you can force libvirt to
use your version of qemu by specifying the <emulator> element under
<devices> in your domain XML.
Actually we will search through $PATH for QEMU binaries, so if you
install somewhere unusual, just make sure libvirtd sees an updated
$PATH env variable including the new location.
