[autotest] require root?

  Hi,

What is the point in requiring running as root? It seems to work just fine as user too after adapting a few permissions (/dev/kvm, /var/log/messages). Except the hugepages test because it wants mount hugetlbfs itself, which could easily be fixed too I think.

I've also noticed it complains it can't symlink a init script:

11:26:46 ERROR| ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/autotest': Permission denied
11:26:46 WARNI| Linking init scripts failed

Which it shouldn't try in the first place IMO.

cheers,
  Gerd
