Updated patch attached.

This is a minimally-invasive patch that tests for read/write access to /dev/kvm at VM-creation time. If that access fails, an error message pops up, noting the permission/ownership problem, and suggesting an appropriate "sudo adduser ... kvm" command to solve it.

This is far simpler than the previous patch (which would actually attempt to do the adduser) in the interest of potentially attaining an SRU-approval for Hardy's .1 release.
