Audit is, by definition, meant for auditing what do we allow qemu to
do.  So that later you can see what domains had access to what resources
on the system.  Doesn't make much sense stating that explicitly there,
but it's easy to get someone confused, so I wouldn't be totally against
adding one sentence to the Introduction, I guess.
