It's definitely not working here (anymore?)

$ getfacl /dev/kvm
getfacl : suppression du premier « / » des noms de chemins absolus
# file: dev/kvm
# owner: root
# group: kvm
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::---

$ udevadm info --name /dev/kvm
P: /devices/virtual/misc/kvm
N: kvm
E: DEVNAME=/dev/kvm
E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/misc/kvm
E: MAJOR=10
E: MINOR=232
E: SUBSYSTEM=misc

You should have something like "TAGS=:uaccess:"

$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/60-qemu-system-common.rules
KERNEL=="kvm", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"

Argh that file belong to qemu not libvirt...

I'm reassigning it.
