Vdsm needs to communicate with its guest agent via unix domain socket,
which qemu creates due to the following domain xml device:
<channel type='unix'>
<target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels/fcp-xp-1.com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
</channel>
The location of the socket below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels makes
sense, to humans and selinux policy alike. However, that socket should
be accessible to vdsm, too.
Due to other (storage) reasons, vdsm is to join the "qemu" group. With
this patch, vdsm can look below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu and connect to the
socket.
The socket itself should be chmod'ed to allow qemu group read/write, but
that's for another project.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
