[Openstack] [Compute] nova-compute does not show up as ":-)" in nova-manage service list

I tried 'virsh list', and the command hangs. At first i thought it was
because of KVM, since the vm does not support it. I remember having the
same problem with diablo, but it would only result in error when the
instance was being launched on the compute service. So i changed
"libvirt_type=kvm" to "libvirt_type=qemu".

However, the problem still remains: "virsh list" still hangs and compute
refuses to leave the state "XXX".
