I'm far from being a programmer, but as I went to compare build
environments, between
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.3.src.rpm
and
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.3.src.rpm
in related spec file I see
[g.cecchi@tekkaman SPECS]$ diff qemu-kvm.spec.upstream qemu-kvm.spec.rhev

and apart other probably not trivial implications, such as guest agent
part, I see that the "configure" command takes one extra argument in
base RH EL 6.5, that is
--disable-rhev-features
The only patch file containing this keyword is
kvm-Block-streaming-disable-for-RHEL.patch
and inside it there are these lines that impacts configure options and
related built qemu-kvm:

I don't think the rhev argument has instead implications in upstream
source qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2.tar.gz
So I think that if you want to dig more and if you have more
competences, you have to see the full spec file and the full patch
above.
