OK.  There are two options here depending on whether or not the
KVM/Qemu stuff is useful to you in your testing.

If it is, then the best option is probably going to be to try and pull
the KVM/Qemu stuff out of the main "/var/log/messages" file and put it
into a dedicated log file.  Once you've done that you could also use
Logrotate to set a more appropriate retention policy on those files
such as rotating daily and discarding the log files after a week, for
instance.

If you don't need the entries then the best option would be to try and
prevent them from getting them logged in the first place, either via
the configuration files of KVM/Qemu or by increasing the necessary
severity of a KVM/Qemu message before RSyslog writes it to the file.
That might be a bit tricky though because KVM is closely integrated
with the kernel and probably just logs messages as "kernel", so
changes may impact *all* kernel logging, which could result in other,
more useful, kernel messages not getting logged.

Unfortunately I can't be more specific than that at the moment.  I
don't use either KVM or Qemu so I don't have any information on the
specific configuration options available or what you might need to
change in "/etc/rsyslog.conf" to tune the logging, but I suspect KVM
will log as "kernel".  If you can post a few samples then I'll
probably be able to at least point you in the right direction.
