You can write preprocess scripts(or do manually) to change permissions
on /dev/kvm for the user who wants to run qemu-kvm. This will allow
running qemu-kvm as normal user on your host(Also ensure all the
resources like disk and cdrom are accessible for the normal user).
Also ensure if the tap device also needs permission changes(not sure
at the moment)
For logging into the guest as normal user you need to replace either
the ssh/telnet command or replace root by your user in utility
functions.
