Only run qemu-system-x86_64 as root when necessary #8

It is not always necessary to run qemu as the root user. If the user is added to the kvm group, then it generally has access to /dev/kvm/ already. In case the user doesn't have access to /dev/kvm, then qemu is run as sudo with the -runas flag, which drops root privileges before guest execution is started.
