It would have been a lot nicer to have it the July release because this
means that we'll have the released libvirt broken during almost the
whole rc phase of QEMU 3.0, but the release is planned for Aug 8th the
earliest, so I guess we're still okay. People using QEMU from git will
just need libvirt from git as well.
