 - remove machine attribute from type element.
 
 # editor /etc/libvirtd/qemu/guest-machine.xml
 domain type='kvm'
    snip 
   os
 !-- type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.15'hvm/type --
 type arch='x86_64' hvm/type

Please don't do that.  Either remove the machine= parameter
completely, or change it to machine='pc-1.1', but keep the
type line.  As you stated above -- remove machine attribute
from type element, not whole type element.

 - restart libvirtd

Thanks,

 Hi,
 
 I'm setting the severity of these bugs to serious (not critical as it's
 not completely broken). I really have the feeling that this cannot
 migrate to testing before the problem is fixed as libvirt is quite
 wildly used in conjunction with kvm.

Hmm.  I thought exactly the opposite - to let this version to enter
testing before uploading the next batch of fixes, so that more testing
in various obscure situations (which I didn't find myself) will be
possible, and at the same time to have even more bugfixes...  since
the issue has a rather trivial workaround.

But now when I see how many bugreports like this is flowing in, maybe
you're right and it is really necessary to fix it while it is in sid.
It is more work for the release team, but heck, less work and
frustration for users...  Oh well.
