If it's libvirt issue, can you test http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4726 <http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4726> ? it's from centos virt sig, introduced for Xen but should work on kvm as well. or the 7.2 libvirt from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cr/x86_64/Packages/ <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cr/x86_64/Packages/>.
