OpenRC Users:

In libvirt-1.2.19 and newer, the libvirtd init script has been split into
libvirtd and libvirt-guests.

The purpose of this change is to separate the management of the libvirtd
daemon from the libvirt domains/guests. This means that a number of settings
from /etc/conf.d/libvirtd have been moved to /etc/conf.d/libvirt-guests. These
settings have not been auto-migrated and you are advised to review
/etc/conf.d/libvirt-guests to ensure the behaviors are as you expect.

libvirt-guests will be added to your default runlevel if libvirtd is in your
default runlevel. Should you use different runlevels or want to ensure your
system operates as expected you are advised to check the configuration of both
libvirtd and libvirt-guests and the runlevels they reside in.
