[Users] el7 based node? el7 as a supported platform for ovirt?

[Sven Kieske]

Hi,

thanks for bringing this up, based on the fact that el7 is based on
fedora 19 I assume it should work, as ovirt runs on fedora 19 too.

I hope the redhat dev team keeps that in mind when changing stuff
in el7.

As you point out, the qemu-kvm version is one of the most interesting
things, especially the compiler flags (live migration anyone?).
