OK I see.  When libguestfs runs qemu-kvm, it sets up a TCP socket
first [on RHEL 5 -- it works differently upstream].  Without the
socket existing (and sending commands etc), the qemu-kvm command on
its own won't work.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
