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

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks, Ryan.

Indeed - there were several problems affecting /dev/kvm after a fresh
install, and while raring got all the fixes, precise and quantal did not
get one (presumably because I did not think they were affected).

We will need to do the following in both precise and quantal:

1. add acl to qemu-kvm's Depends:
2. add 

if [ -c /dev/kvm -a ! -L /dev/kvm ]
then
  /usr/bin/setfacl -m g::rw /dev/kvm
fi

to debian/qemu-kvm.postinst above the udevadm trigger

This will need to be done after the current qemu-kvm is promoted from
-proposed.  I'll make a note to check back in a week.

Thanks for pointing this out!
