Win 7 works with OVMF.  As for the catalyst problem, try (1) not passing the audio, just the graphics part and (2) install the driver but not the CCC. 

Am also new to mailing lists, let me know if I'm clueless

>>> I've got the VM booting with the PCI device showing as a 'display adaptor' with a code 10 in the device manager, and when I try to install catalyst it currently reports the device as a hd7870 and the error code simply tells me to reboot before I can use the device. However on reboot windows 7 fails to restart until I do a system restore, even if I remove the PCI device from the VM using virt-manager.
