This made it impossible to install on Virtuozzo, which used to work well
before the change.
I think Virtuozzo is based on CentOS.
I skimmed through the related tickets
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367696
https://review.rdoproject.org/r/1900
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392820
https://review.rdoproject.org/r/9858
but failed to understand the motivation behind this change. What are
those particular features that are only present in qemu-kvm-rhev and
make the vendor-neutral requirement insufficient? So far we didn't
notice any issues running recent enough QEMU with Nova, but I guess this
must have changed.
Dan has already responded. In short, 'qemu-kvm-rhev' is the recommended
RPM for Red Hat OSP.

FYI, a related change that will get shortly pushed to RDO Nova spec (and
to "Queens" branch too):
https://review.rdoproject.org/r/#/c/13277/ -- Bump the minimum
version of 'qemu-kvm-rhev' & libvirt
I'm now trying to figure out what is needed to make our QEMU
package
work with Nova; any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roman.
