[libvirt][PATCH] running libvirt on the latest kvm snapshot

[Anton Protopopov]

Hi.

Libvirt tryes to extract kvm version from the string
  "QEMU PC emulator version <major>.<minor>.<micro> (kvm-<version>)..."
For examle,
  # kvm -help | head -1
  QEMU PC emulator version 0.10.0 (kvm-85), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice

The problem occures if you are trying to run it on the devel version of kvm:
  # kvm -help | head -1
  QEMU PC emulator version 0.10.0 (kvm-devel), Copyright (c) 2003-2008

The virParseNumber() obvioulsy fails on the "devel" string here. I
proposeto setup
`kvm_version' to 1000 (that's enough, I think) in that case, so all checks,
such as
  if (kvm_version > 74) ...
will pass.
