Re: [libvirt PATCHv2 5/9] qemu: virtiofs: do not force UID 0

When this check was introduced, virtiofsd required root privileges. This has changed since then - now it does not need to set up all the sandboxing when running as non-root. It even gained support for id mapping, which makes running unprivileged even more useful.
