Very nice!

I tried them out - but i'm unsure how to activate the feature.

Right now 'kvm run' will run the guest and it outputs to the serial 
console. If i try 'kvm run --sdl' i get:

 linux/tools/kvm> ./kvm run --sdl
  # kvm run -k ../../arch/x86/boot/bzImage -m 1216 -c 16
  Warning: Unable to open /dev/net/tun
 Undefined video mode number: 312
 Press <ENTER> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue, or wait 30 sec

What kind of options should i select on the guest kernel image side 
to be able to boot via the SDL framebuffer?
