You should rename the init script.  At least on Debian systems, there's 
already an /etc/init.d/kvm script that auto-loads the kvm modules.

You may want to rename the script.  There's already a kvmctl (at least on 
Debian) in the /usr/sbin directory that is used for testing.

I ran into this issue when I named my management script kvmctl, 
and /usr/sbin is ahead of /usr/local/sbin in the default PATH.
