We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently
it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.
We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without
an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled
without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows
activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]
Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up
with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that
if there's more confusion:

# UNIX socket access controls
#
-# Beware that if you are changing *any* of these options, and you use
-# socket activation with systemd, you need to adjust the settings in
-# the libvirtd.socket file as well since it could impose a security
-# risk if you rely on file permission checking only.
-
# Set the UNIX domain socket group ownership. This can be used to
# allow a 'trusted' set of users access to management capabilities
# without becoming root.
+# NB we don't use socket activation. When libvirtd starts it will
+# spawn any virtual machines registered for autostart. We want this
+# to occur on every boot, regardless of whether any client connects
+# to a socket. Thus socket activation doesn't have any benefit
