You are in-fact correct here - i didn't know about the API changes with 3, 5, 6.
I will send out a patch regarding that. Basis on bumping the 'AGE' was
wrong - since
i just assumed public interface didn't change.

Not for this specific change, but may be it's time to add a test case into gluster to test QEMU requirements. The last effort in that direction was made here: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gluster-devel/2013-02/msg00014.html
