Vagrant when using the libvirt backend will default to using kvm, if
the user does not have perms ( eg. the virsh create command will ask
for the root passwd ), or have the kvm perms relaxed so the user can
create the domain - this is going to fail.

Essentially, the virt stack is offloaded to libvirt ( with assumptions
) - and changes in there will need to be validated by the user
themselves.

if the user is trying to use emulated qemu setup ( ie, just qemu and
not qemu-kvm ) vagrant will fail as well. We've had a few people come
around asking about this on the centos channels recently, including
trying to run vagrant with xen backends, which are not supported by
vagrant itself.
