Hi,
[please don't top-post on technical lists]
The package installed is qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.10.x86_64 on CentOS
7.
You need qemu-kvm-rhev, not plain qemu-kvm.

Quoting Paolo Bonzini's earlier mail
(
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-11/msg03379.html):
Luckily, since you are using CentOS you do not really care about
official Red Hat RPMs, and you can get the packages here:
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5/rpm/el7Server/
This yum repository file will help:
[qemu-kvm-rhev]
name=oVirt rebuilds of qemu-kvm-rhev
baseurl=http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5/rpm/el7Server/
mirrorlist=http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/mirrorlist-ovirt-3.5-e...
enabled=1
skip_if_unavailable=1
gpgcheck=0
Drop it in /etc/yum.repos.d/qemu-kvm-rhev.repo and install qemu-kvm-rhev
with yum. All features will be available. It would be simpler to have
a CentOS SIG build this, but it hasn't happened yet.
