kvm fds do not support fork().  Nothing prevents you from stopping the 
guest, reading guest state, fork()ing, and creating a new VM in the 
child with the same state, then restarting both instances.

qemu in general cannot be forked; the two instances would trample on 
each others disk images, host network connections (i.e. vnc, X, the 
monitor), guest network connections, etc.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
