Yes, the goal is to move towards qemu. kuli is not intended as a long term 
solution. Consider it a proof of concept/testing code to show that the kernel 
part is working.

You can also look at our KVM Forum presentation:
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/KvmForum2008?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=kdf2008_17.pdf
The slide "Next step" contains the merge into common kvm userspace.

I dont think we will see a full s390 backend just to make kvm work. We are 
considering Anthonys proposal for an kvm backend in qemu instead.
