[KSB] QEMU works as an emulator. But the kernel module works about 5%
of the time (optimistic estimate) and rest of the time it just hangs,
or my virtual machine goes into an endless boot cycle. So I have my
choice of slow and reliable, or faster and very flaky. I tried kvm,
and it doesn't seem to be any better than the QEMU kernel module. So.
I'm stuck with VMWare for now.
