Oh, the above was a typo.  It was supposed to be "convenient".  KVM doesn't strictly
follow the almighty fir tree, but I try to use it and encourage others to do so as
it helps with continuity when switching between x86/kvm and the rest of x86/ (the
tip tree maintainers and thus most of the x86 code are devout believers).
