http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/RDMALiveMigration states that you modify
the .conf file to expose /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm and friends.  Are all
of these devices read/write accessible to non-root?  Or is there going
to be a problem if using user="qemu" group="qemu"?  (That is, merely
exposing the devices through cgroup device ACL checking may be
insufficient if you can't access the devices when not running root/root).

Libvirt can be patched so that the .conf file does not have to be edited
(ie. change the defaults so that if cgroup_device_acl is not present in
the conf file, the defaults could still let a domainaccess the
/dev/infiniband devices).
