Can we have two packages.
One that works with CPUs that support kvm, and one that works with CPUs that do 
not support kvm, e.g. with kqemu instead.
I think it is sensible to assume that all new CPUs will support kvm, so that 
handles the physical memory >3.5GB issue.
But, for older CPUs, that do not support kvm, we need an VM that actually 
functions.
For example, running the ubuntu version of kvm on a machine that does not 
support kvm, results in kvm running in normal qemu mode, but this has bugs and 
fails to run when used with 32bit host, and 32bit guest.
One gets "no vm86_info: BAD" messages
The original qemu without the kvm patches, works correctly.
I have talked to kvm developers and they will not be fixing bugs in the non-kvm 
code paths, but qemu developers will be fixing bugs in the non-kvm path. 
Apparently, there are kvm patches that break the non-kvm code paths.
So, can we please have two packages, one from the kvm tree, and one from the 
qemu tree.
