Hi Harry,
Thanks for your interest.  You can begin thinking about ideas but
please keep in mind that we are still in the very early stages of GSoC
preparation.

Google will publish the list of accepted organizations on April 8th.
Then there is a period of over 3 weeks to discuss your project idea
with the organization.

In the meantime, the best thing to do is to get familiar with the code
bases and see if you can find/fix a bug.  Contributing patches is a
great way to get noticed.

There is always a chance that QEMU and/or libvirt may not be among the
list of accepted organizations, so don't put all your eggs in one
basket :).

Stefan
