This is basically a development snapshot.  I'd say that unless there's a 
feature in kvm-85 you care about, you're better sticking with 0.10.x.  
Of course, if you'd like to help test future kvm release, kvm-XX 
releases are a great way to help out.

Officially, the QEMU 0.10.x series only has "experimental" KVM support.  
It's not as complete as what's found in linux-kvm.org.  If you're 
bleeding edge and really want to help out, this is a great place to do 
testing.

For now, this is probably the best thing to look at if you don't fit 
into any of the above categories.
