ACK since it fixes the immediate problem.  But, longer term...

Should this selinux policy be a part of ovirt-node installation instead of 
in ovirt-node-image kickstart?

We'll want to install ovirt-node on baremetal Fedora hosts and on those 
hosts we'll want to be able to use iSCSI storage.  We can always tell the 
administrator to 'make it work' but since we require it anyhow I think it 
would make sense to have this policy set in ovirt-node RPM.

Even longer term... Shouldn't this be a part of libvirt install and not in 
oVirt at all?
