I've not seen these symptoms, so I can only outline the sorts of steps
I'd take in troubleshooting. First, I'd check for SELinux issues:
1. Run "fixfiles check /etc" to see if a configuration file is
mislabled.
2. Do the same thing on /var to see if any runtime files have
issues.
3. Run "ausearch -m avc" and grep for qemu or libvirt issues.
After that, I'd get more drastic:
1. virsh shutdown $DOM.
2. virsh dumpxml $DOM > /tmp/dom.xml
3. virsh undefine $DOM
4. virsh create /tmp/dom.xml
5. virsh edit $DOM
6. virsh start $DOM --console
And then see if things get better.
