Please consider the appended patch for the udev rule file,
so that group kvm can use vhost-net.

Wolfram.

My opinion is that vhost-net should be in its own group, due to
extra possible security implications and because, just like with
/dev/kvm, this rules file does not belong to qemu[-kvm] package,
since qemu is not only user of these devices.

I don't, however, just refuse to fix this bug - I see the need to
do something like that, and hopefully will address this in the near
future.

Thanks,
