It does not work for me. After applying the patch, configure still fails
 with

checking for DEVMAPPER... no
configure: error: You must install device-mapper-devel >= 0.0 to compile
libvirt

config.log says:

configure:48143: checking for DEVMAPPER
configure:48150: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "devmapper >=
$DEVMAPPER_REQUIRED"
Package devmapper was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `devmapper.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'devmapper' found
configure:48153: $? = 1
configure:48166: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "devmapper >=

Version info:
rpm -qa|grep device-mapper
