Subject: [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
