libvirt users - Jan 2016 - channel device "state" value missing within OpenStack Kilo version

Hi,

I've installed a OpenStack KILO all-in-one .

For private need , I've to add a channel device to all my GUESTS on my
compute node.

It works fine (e.g.  via a virsh command).

Problem  is that  , in the xml describing the Guest , this 'state' value
:

<target type='virtio' name='agent'
state='disconnected'/>

showing if the channel is connected on the Guest side is missing.


Does it mean that some qemu/KVM components are too old within KILO OpenStack
release ?

FYI , here are the installed related packages versions coming with KILO:
