Changing _autoconf.py to contain KVM_PATH="/usr/bin/qemu-kvm" and restarting ganeti fixes this -- until the next emerge.

Nice catch! I hadn't noticed that problem yet since I'm still using an older version of KVM. I added a check in 2.5.1 which should deal with the issue. If you need me to apply the same fix to 2.4.5 please let me know.
