This doesn't necessarily need sudo: the other instructions kind of
assume your regular user has access to qemu:///system, by being a
member of the "libvirt" group for example. We should clarify that
in the "Host setup" section (as a separate patch of course).

Please make sure this section containing commands, as well as the
ones above, are indented with 4 spaces so that they show up in a
monospace font when the document is rendered as HTML.

With all of the above addressed,
