Looks like the module is being pulled in as a dependency from another module (modules.dep confirms this). I added "install raid6_pq /bin/false" to /etc/modules.d/50-blacklist.conf and it seemed to do the trick; no fault. I've also included the runtime options that libvirt uses when it launches the vm. AVX and AVX2 are supported by the host cpu. 3178 ?
