I just today was able to diagnose a libvirt hang.  It appears to be
(similar to) a known bug in libvirt, likely fixed in the latest
Fedora, but it does not appear to be fixed in Ubuntu Oneirc; I think
the fix is in Precise: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/953656

I believe this is the upstream bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757382


Which operating system(s) are we aiming to support for Essex?  Is the
plan to backport the latest libvirt to Oneric, or are we going to wait
for Precise?
