You might use this preview one :
http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.2-preview/libvirt-1.2.17-3.el7.src.rpm

I personally rebuild libvirt from last official releases which enable 
ceph by default for el7 :
http://libvirt.org/sources/

My dogfooding tests still **can be found here :

Maybe I'm wrong but ceph-devel seems to have been replaced by librados2-devel and librbd1-devel in el7.
