Bug Description
I'm developing the installation guide for Icehouse. In this particular case, I'm installing and testing RC1 on Ubuntu 12.04 with nova networking. All nodes in this environment run as VMs and the nova-compute service uses QEMU due to hardware limitations with nested VMs. Attempting to launch an instance generates the following error (full traceback attached):
2014-04-07 17:50:52.235 1220 TRACE nova.compute.
2014-04-07 17:50:52.235 1220 TRACE nova.compute.
2014-04-07 17:50:52.235 1220 TRACE nova.compute.
Package version information:
nova-compute: :2014.1~
nova-network: :2014.1~
libvirt-bin: 1.2.2-0ubuntu7~

Unfortunately we don't test libvirt 1.2.x in the gate so its possible we broke something. I think not being able to boot an instance qualifies for a good candidate for RC2
