Rebasing and applying patches could be tricky sometimes and if you
got an error in virt/vm.py it is most likely because the patch
didn't apply cleanly.

I prepared a build (el6) here:

https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/

In case you want to try it on fedora you just need to get the
source rpm here:

https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/source/

and rebuild it on fedora.

Let me know if you have any problem.
