The chain of dependencies is like this:

   vdsm -> qemu -> libgfapi.so.0

I think a rebuild of QEMU should be sufficient. I'm planning to put
glusterfs-3.6 and rebuilds of related packages in a Fedora COPR. This
would make it possible for Fedora users to move to 3.6 before they
switch to Fedora 22.

When more details become available, I'll let this list know.

Cheers,
Niels
