runqemu: enable kvm when use tap under sudorbt/qemu_v2
Enable kvm support automatically when use tap interface under sudo, the thought is, if sudo works well, and qemu-native has been built with kvm support, and kvm can be enabled, then enable it, it can be disabled by nokvm option. The previous command: $ runqemu qemux86 kvm may not work since it checks the current user's read/write permission on /dev/kvm and /dev/vhost-net but failed without sudo, it can't use sudo to check them since sudo is not a must, sudo is only required when need create tap interface, this patch can enable it automatically. Enable kvm can improve qemu's performance a lot, when test perl-5.22's lib/warnings.t on qemux86-64, 70 times improved. Signed-off-by: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com>
