Do you have both KVM and QEMU installed on the system?  Both are needed 
to start KVM guests appropriately.

The check in the testsuite is looking for this exact error condition - 
it's checking both the libvirt version (for reporting purposes), but 
it's also verifying the libvirt has the needed pieces to define KVM guests.

Let me know if you are seeing this issue on a system that has both qemu 
and kvm packages installed.

Thanks!
