If you modify the guest XML, the /domain/drivers/emulator XPath element
can set the path to the KVM executable you want to use for that domain
(libvirt fills in that element automatically with the kvm it found by
default if you didn't provide it, but by modifying the XML, you can
change the path to use on the next boot of the domain).
