When you run virsh locally as non-root, it connects to qemu://session,
which doesn't have root privileges, and the iface-* commands won't work
(because netcf requires root to run). If you run virsh as root, you will
be connected to qemu://system, which has root, and iface-* will work.
We can still read files in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts as non-root,
so it'd be desirable to at least make iface-XXX stuff work read-only,
allowing configs to be queried / listed.
