(3) SELinux/sVirt prevents qemu connecting to this socket. This one
is a pain. You'd think that if a socket is specified in the libvirt
XML then sVirt should allow access to it.
The AVCs are:

comm="qemu-kvm" name="guestfsd.sock" dev="dm-4" ino=939761

audit2allow suggests:
#============= svirt_t ==============
allow svirt_t unconfined_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
allow svirt_t user_home_t:sock_file write;
I might be able to solve this by labelling the socket, but I'm not
clear what label to use. Also that won't work if the main process is
non-root but has permissions to access the global libvirtd - we'd
really need libvirtd to do the labelling.
