libvirt 3.6.0, scheduled to be released in the first week
of August, will contain the fix.

Can't think of anything specific, but when I backported
the fixes to libvirt 3.2.0 there were quite a few conflicts
to take care of, so if Linaro is using a much older libvirt
version I can imagine the backport would get even trickier.
