Besides that the KVM tool with its small and clean code-base is a really
nice reference on how to use the KVM kernel interface for anyone willing
to implement its own user-space. As a developer you can learn a lot more
from it as by reading the files on Documentation/.  So I think it should
definitly be part of the kernel source tree.

Whether it lives in tools/ or Documentation/ ... I don't care. In tools/
is certainly better for all the developers already using the it for
testing their kernels.
