Will do.

Applied, thanks.

I think it wants the regular qemu binary (named qemu) for 32-bit.  The 
instructions are 64-bit specific.  I'll check and update.

You can detect kvm operation using lsof -p `pgrep qemu` (which should 
show /dev/kvm opened) and using top (guest time shows as system time).
