OK, seems a stock RHEL 6.6. I wonder if the recommended hv settings
are really supported on old QEMUs. Need to check about this: will do and will report.
If you'll be the most welcome to file a bug against oVirt for this issue,
and set target release to 3.5.1, so we can track this issue.

This is totally expected. qemu-kvm-rhev provides additional facilities
and it is better to use it.

This is known and different issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149667
hopefully the fix will be available soon
