What are your requirements for libvirt and qemu?  The Liberty UCA for
Ubuntu has the following versions:

  libvirt: 1.2.16
  qemu: 2.3

if that's useful these can be added to any Ubuntu 14.04 system using:

  sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:liberty

versions will be updated during Xenial development to later releases which
will be backported to 14.04 as part of the Mitaka UCA.
