This is a KVM bug when using the -drive parameter

The following two commands should be identical:

# qemu-kvm -cdrom /home/berrange/boot.iso -boot d -m 500

# qemu-kvm -drive
file=/home/berrange/boot.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2,boot=on -m 500

But the 2nd fails with 'Attempted DOS system call'. New libvirt uses the -drive
argument, hence why you see it the problem with newer libvirt.
