We plan on addressing this upstream by introducing a helper to create the tap device. This helper would be owned by root, and would be limited in what it did with the tap device (in terms of attaching it to a bridge).

This allows a sysadmin to delegate an appropriate amount of privileges to non-privileged KVM users (but no more than what's necessary).
