Defaults to 1. The reason the config file documents 'root' is because that is what configure defaults to. If you pass --with-qemu-user to configure, we don't update the config file example though, and perhaps we should. Alternatively should we make configure defualt to 'qemu' instead of 'root', since it is generally considered insane to run QEMU as root.
