Details

Description: The qemu is now shipped with kvm. I think it's missing a udev rule to set good permissions on /dev/kvm device (group kvm)


Additional info:
* qemu 0.9.0-4
* Starting qemu-kvm, there is this message: "open /dev/kvm: Permission denied"


Steps to reproduce:
* Install qemu
* start qemu-kvm

Proposed solution:
* install the scripts/65-kvm.rules found in the kvm archive into /etc/udev/rules.d/
This task depends upon

Attached there is a PKGBUILD (and all files needed) to solve this bug and the one on this page [http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7661]
Also, kvm is updated to version 33.
