No worries, you aren't :-)
My main focus has actually been on virtualbox, because it's perfect to test
bootloading  etc. on.
This also brings the challenge of partitioning, which opened up a pandoras
box of issues.
Right now I am working on a changeset that involves around +1000 lines and
-400 lines.
Partitioning also means that we can get ec2 hvm images up and running (and
partitioning is generally speaking not such a bad idea ^^).
I have not had a look at the kvm part yet, but I suspect that adjusting it
is going to be quite easy.

Also I am pulling quite a bit of dependencies into the host right now.
qemu-utils, parted, grub2, euca2ools and xfsprogs if you want to use XFS as
a filesystem
The following python libraries are required:
boto, jsomschema v2, termcolor, fysom
