Later today or this weekend it should be possible.

I just discovered that Fedora 21 Live Workstation as guest does not
reproduce the problem, whereas Fedora 22 Live Workstation Beta TC4
does reproduce it.

So it seems there's something about the guest OS first of all; and
then it depends on the host version of either libvirt or qemu (or
both).
