[CentOS-virt] libvirt, xen PV, qemu-system-i386, root user

Hi, after migrating to libvirt/libxl according to:

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt

I've noticed that my Xen PV domains are being launched by 
qemu-system-i386 running under root privileges.

I am wondering why is this? Previously no qemu process was used.

If qemu is needed for some reason, are there any guidelines for non-root 
operation?

Thanks
