I was afraid that you'll say this. This is definitely on my to-do list, but will likely take some time to finish - and to get accepted upstream (QEMU's feedback/merge round trip time is always hard to estimate :-/). OK, let's see how far we get. Maybe it'll take an intermediate step for KVM, ie. userspace patches with limited functionality, but without dependencies on generic QEMU changes.
