This should work with virsh attach-device $VMNAME $XMLFILE. I can't seem
to reproduce this issue on F12 though. Can you capture the libvirtd crash?

- debuginfo-install libvirt
- service libvirtd stop
- gdb libvirtd, at the prompt type 'run'
- In another terminal, reproduce the crash
- In gdb, type 'thread apply all bt'

Post that output here, along with all your libvirt and qemu versions,
and what steps you took to reproduce.

Manually specifying the <address> piece shouldn't be required, libvirt
will autogenerate it for you.
