[Bug 1057024] Re: kvm kernel module always loaded, without setting /dev/kvm permissions

[Serge Hallyn]

At last, the cause is found.  /lib/udev/rules.d/70-udev-acl.rules adds
an acl to /dev/kvm denying group write perms.  (qemu-kvm installs its
own /lib/udev/rules.d/40-qemu-kvm.rules when qemu-kvm is installed)  The
qemu-kvm.postinst does chgrp and chmod /dev/kvm, but "chmod g+rw" does
not remove the group-rw acl.  qemu-kvm.postinst needs to manually remove
that acl.
