As is true of the rest of the kernel.
If you want finer grain access control, that's exactly why we have things like
LSM and SELinux. You can add the appropriate LSM hooks into the KVM
infrastructure and setup default SELinux policies appropriately.
LSMs protect objects, not syscalls. There isn't an object to protect here
(except the fake /dev/kvm object).
A VM can be an object.

In theory, kvm is exactly the same as other syscalls, but in practice, it is
used by only very few user programs, so there may be many unexercised paths.
