In that case, qemu_driver.c:qemuOpenFile() also needs to be fixed to
honor VM DAC labeling, as it also passes driver->user and driver->group
down to virFileOpenAs.  That is, if I'm understanding your complaint,
the new DAC labeling allows us to run a single qemu guest process under
a different uid:gid than the defaults specified in qemu.conf, and if we
have that turned on, then we should be favoring per-guest user and group
over the driver user/group default.  Sounds like we need a helper
function, which when given the qemu driver and the vm definition,
returns the appropriate user:group id to use for that vm.
