I am not a fan of this approach the patch above along with [0], broke
Minesweeper [1] and Matt, I am worried that we will be breaking other folks
as well. I don't think we should force folks to upgrade to a newer version
of libvirt just to do some code cleanup. I think we should revert these
patches.

"Increase the min required libvirt version to 0.9.11 since


we require that for libvirt-python from PyPI to build
successfully. Kill off the legacy CPU model configuration
and legacy OpenVSwitch setup code paths only required by
libvirt < 0.9.11"
