did you ever consider using fence_virsh or fence_xvm? They both support libvirt in F10 and higher and they use ssh and authenticated connections to the host system to perform their duties. I use fence_virsh myself without a problem. If there is a clear benefit to add fence_qemu compared to what's already in the tree, I am sure our fence agents guys can look at this implementation but I'd rather avoid to have in the tree a possible duplicate.
