That sounds encouraging -- I had imagined there might be some
"impossibility factor" in sharing something like hardware breakpoints
between host and guest.

For now I'm simply sticking to QEMU+kqemu when I expect deliberate
trickiness or need to do hard-breakpoint debugging, and QEMU/KVM (which is
up to 50% faster when doing Windows software builds on my PC, nice!) when I
don't care.

I haven't had any problems loading and using the kvm drivers and kqemu at
the same time, and I have assumed that there ought to be no issues in doing
so, since they work quite differently and (from my very dangerously limited
understanding) ought not to be competing for any mutually exclusive
hardware resources. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Intel Core Duo (T2400 @ 1.83GHz according to /proc/cpuinfo), running 32-bit
Linux 2.6.21.5 using KVM drivers built from the kvm-59 sourceball.

Sorry, I don't have other vendors or CPU bitnesses to test on.

PS: When I build KVM "out of the box," I get a qemu binary called
qemu-system-x86_64, though I have a 32-bit CPU and a 32-bit OS. Forgive my
ignorance on this, but...why does the name of the binary imply a 64-bit
flavour?
