If you can use kvm, then you can start and stop the qemu-kvm session as
a non-root user.  The rpm that I installed with didn't create the kvm
group, but once I did that manually, and added my user to the kvm group,
it works well, including networking.  I'm pulling the kvm rpm out of
rawhide and using it on F7.
