libvirt: could not initialize domain event timer

[Pavel Kirpichyov]

While starting nova-compute service I got error in log:

libvirt: error : internal error: could not initialize domain event timer
2014-03-28 17:42:59.755 11565 WARNING nova.virt.libvirt.driver [-] URI qemu:///system does not support events: internal error: could not initialize domain event timer

This error happen, then libvirt's conn.domainEventRegisterAny is called before libvirt.virEventRegisterDefaultImpl

Please provide the version of OpenStack you are using, as well as the version of libvirt. Additionally, please indicate the OS you are running.

I had used latest versions at that moment. Fix already commited to master: https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/8a430da045d86ccb8daee6e082c12890ce5c5276
