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.
