Looks good.  Two things:

- The limitations/issues should be in a comment in the code somewhere, not just 
in the commit message.

- In the spirit of my earlier superficial naming comments: I think ArmKvmCPU is 
a better name.  Generally classes derived from BaseKvmCPU should be named 
*KvmCPU (like how the derivatives of BaseSimpleCPU are AtomicSimpleCPU and 
TimingSimpleCPU).
