Yep:

[markmc at zig ~]$ sudo systemctl show libvirtd.service | grep KillMode
KillMode=process
[markmc at zig ~]$ systemd-cgls /system/libvirtd.service
/system/libvirtd.service:
├ 12660 /usr/sbin/libvirtd
├ 20598 /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.15 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name instance-00000021 -uuid 39e9ec0e-2...
└ 20665 /sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface ...
[markmc at zig ~]$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd.service
[markmc at zig ~]$ systemd-cgls /system/libvirtd.service
/system/libvirtd.service:
└ 20742 /usr/sbin/libvirtd

Cheers,
Mark.
