[fedora-virt] virtio requires KVM?

I installed a Win2000 guest on a x86_64 host - but the host doesn't have 
virt CPU features, so it's plain qemu, not KVM.
Spice video works just fine (except that so far I didn't find win2k 
guest driver for it)
At the same time, virtio disk and network drivers are not available in 
the GUI -- most likely because KVM is not available.

So, is it a bug in libvirt or do they really require hardware support?


Unrelated, there's a bug in libvirt -- when spice video is used, "Resize 
to VM" doesn't work.. but that's probably a known bug.
