KVM is not an option for me (and is not available for the ARM-platform).

I plan to port kqemu for the ARM-platform. Do have any estimates, for how much
work would be needed to adopt the kqemu-Interface of qemu (which is
x86-centric) to ARM (ignoring the effort needed to port the
kqemu-kernel-module)?


Many thanks,
