Currently we just check that various devices are accessible. This leads to inaccurate errors reported for /dev/kvm and /dev/vhost-net if they exist but an unprivileged user lacks access. Switch existing checks to look for file existance, and add a separate check for accessibility of /dev/kvm since some distros don't grant users access by default. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
