This is part of the reason for this exercise. I'd rather introduce KVM
support first and then look at abstracting things, than vice versa. A
number of the hooks in the current QEMUAccel tree are there for the
wrong reason (to support the out-of-tree IO thread, for instance).

If you just introduce something with various hooks and say, these are
hooks we'll need, it's not possible to really evaluate whether the hooks
are needed because nothing in the tree makes use of them.
