I have another question shouldn't the label of
HomeDirectory/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/Guest.log be virt_log_t instead of
cache_home_t as I am getting the following denial for qemu-kvm when I am
running the guest

type=AVC msg=audit(1345648423.091:575): avc:  denied  { write } for
pid=29234 comm="qemu-kvm"
