Michal Privoznik f60bc4f620 qemu: Check if unpriv_sgio is already set before trying to set it
In case when libvirt runs inside a restricted container it may
not have enough permissions to modify unpriv_sgio. However, it
may have been set beforehand by sysadmin or an orchestration
tool. Therefore, let's check whether the currently set value is
the one we want and if it is refrain from writing to the file.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
