I'm confused.  My host kernel, (hosted on an x86 ubuntu box), is:

rpixley@svrpixleylnx> uname -r
2.6.12-10-686-smp

And my understanding is that there is no kernel when running qemu-user 
because qemu is emulating the kernel calls.

What am I missing?  Or where does the kernel version come into play?
