I'm not running KVM (but Xen). From the snippets above I deduce:
- qemu is not part of CentOS, you probably got it from rpmforge.

- SELinux cannot know about it
- there's probably a different preferred way to use KVM on CentOS
Odd then, do you not think, that when I install virt-manager yum requires qemu from the extras repository and does not require kvm-qemu-img. Odder still that yum seems not to know anything about kvm-qemu-img.
