There are a few packages in RHEL that we need to move more quickly that would 
be possible within the RHEL policies. OpenvSwitch and QEMU are two such 
packages.
The version of QEMU in RHEL started on 0.12 and has since had a large amount of 
backported features and bugfixes in many cases the backports were significant, 
perhaps more than should have been done.
We're getting to the point that in future versions of RHEL we're likely to 
carry a newer version of packages like QEMU in the layered products (such as 
RHEV and RHEL-OSP) so that we can keep the base versions in RHEL and more 
aggressively rebase in the layered products.

The qemu-kvm-rhev binary that's shipped in RHEV is built from the same source 
as qemu-kvm but with a different build option. If CentOS doesn't currently 
build that package it could easily be done or perhaps built by oVirt.
