Add class property to configure KVM device node to use
This allows passing the KVM device node to use as a file
descriptor via /dev/fdset/XX. Passing the device node to
use as a file descriptor allows running qemu unprivileged
even when the user running qemu is not in the kvm group
on distributions where access to /dev/kvm is gated behind
membership of the kvm group (as long as the process invoking
qemu is able to open /dev/kvm and passes the file descriptor
to qemu).
