Depends.  I'd say there's not a lot of utility making kuli use libkvm in 
it's current form.  If you're trying to get QEMU working, then getting 
libkvm working is probably a good start.

It's still not clear whether libkvm is a useful abstraction.  It may be 
that we want to refactor libkvm to be more useful so it's not 100% clear 
atm that it's going away.
