In subscription-manager we use consolehelper for this. Should be easy to apply to virt-who as well: changes are:

1. Land virt-who binary in /usr/sbin
2. Land a symlink to /usr/bin/consolehelper as /usr/bin/virt-who

Thank you for your interest. We have evaluated this request, and
while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be
implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other
priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are
therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this,
please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support.
Thank you.
