An internet search turns up a possible regression in libvirt:
https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/nova/ +bug/1438226
The solution there was to check the version number of libvirt. Unfortunately CentOS (and Red Hat) cherry-pick various patches so a simple version check only works from-source built packaging. Need to investigate if CentOS version of libvirt is DOA for OpenStack.
