Stefan, That is what I needed to know. Thanks. It was somewhat surprising to see how many patches have been backported to the CentOS6.3 source rpm.

Look at the source rpm and you'll see a lot of features and fixes have been backported. Is there a feature missing that forced you to build your own qemu-kvm? If not, don't worry about the version number and use the distro package. Stefan
