[libvirt-users] is qemu-kvm really searched for in /usr/bin for KVM?

That's expected behaviour: on RHEL and its derivatives,
the qemu-kvm binary is located in /usr/libexec

If you print the contents of your guest XML:

  $ virsh dumpxml vm | grep emulator

you'd notice the <emulator> attribute reflects /usr/libexec location.
