@lifeless,

the upstart job is only responsible for setting up the kvm kernel module
and related kernel settings.  With my new proposed change, the upstart
job would detect it's in a container and consider itself done.

In reality, for quantal the modprobes and rmmods were already doing '||
true'.  So the only thing my new upload changes is that rather than try
to do all these things and be denied, it won't try.  (Or, rather than
try to do them and succeed due to a bad policy, and potentially break
the host.)

The host will have to set up kvm;  but it would have to anyway, since
containers are never allowed to modprobe by default.  And quantal and
later always modprobe kvm on the host.

Finally, libvirt and python-libvirt do not depend on qemu-kvm.  But
again, qemu-kvm will install just fine and even be usable in the
container.  It just can't be set up there.
