Hi Han, thanks for your reply. I'm using KVM as hypervisor. The versions are: Kernel: 4.5.2 Libvirt: 1.3.4-1
But its quite embarrasing... when I was answering your mail I was having a look if there is a new kernel I can build, since I have to rely on some patches. I upgraded from 4.4.3 to 4.5.2 and now libvirt doesn´t have any problem. So thanks for the heads up!
