Libvirt has managed to work around the kernel issue in the meantime.
But just today, I hit the same issue with the latest
kernel-headers-3.8.2-206.fc18.x86_64 on Fedora 18 when backporting to an
older libvirt branch that did not have the workaround.  A kernel person
would have to speak up for certain, but I think it is still a problem.
