So even the latest updated to qemu-kvm is still broken in regards to running VMs in Ovirt.
I thought I would try Node on a new host and the current install iso, installs version
6.0 of kvm, which still works, but if you do an upgrade on the node host it sill updates
to the latest 6.1 version of kvm. Question, how do you downgrade kvm on a node host, the
regular yum downgrade does not seem to work on a node host.

Also dnf update does not generally work on node - how did you update yours?
In principle it should be enough to enable the relevant repo(s). In
practice, this won't survive gracefully node image upgrades, so
generally speaking, is not the way to go. This is mainly about
upgrades (of packages that are part of the image).

I did the update through the admin web console as that is where it typically reports there
are updates, even on node hosts.
For now I am going to re-install the node host from the ISO and not run updates until
someone confirms that qemu-kvm is fixed.

You may want to consider using CentOS 8 until Rocky Linux gets to 8.6. When RHEL 8.6 is
released, advanced-virtualization should become available to downstream distros, which
will make it viable to install oVirt on Rocky Linux etc. I personally had the best luck
with CentOS 8. CentOS 8 uses qemu 6.0, which isn't subject to the Q35 BIOS bug
you're encountering. 6.1 introduced the bug, 6.2 fixes it. 6.2 seems to be in release
candidate currently, so it's not available in repos yet. Most likely, this is why
CentOS (and RHEL) have stayed on 6.0.
