It's already defined by default in systemd: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v257.6/sysusers.d/basic.conf.in#L32 Adding it again here in libvirt-qemu.sysusers.conf causes the following warning by validating it with sd-sysuers: /usr/lib/sysusers.d/libvirt-qemu.conf:1: Conflict with earlier configuration for group 'kvm' in /usr/lib/sysusers.d/basic.conf:32, ignoring line. I don't know if the GID is important, but from simple grepping around it doesn't seem that way.
