Ansible version: 0.9
Module name: setup
OS: Linux Centos 6.3 x86_64

After upgrade from version 0.8 to 0.9 I'm not able to gather facts about target XEN virtualized hosts when accessing hosts as non-root user with ssh.
Issue is that setup module for XEN virtualized hosts is accessing file /proc/xen/capabilities which is readable only for root (at least on all my xen hosts) and always fails on permission denied.

I think that issue comes with this commit: 29882f97e6d3384dd943619c732d40eb7d0dd539

Here is an example:

$ ansible test -v -m setup
.....
