No. It were always named qemu-system-x86_64. Different distributions
name it differently. In Debian it were named kvm since beginning and
is still named this way, but the package name were renamed from kvm
to qemu-kvm.

It can emulate one of:
Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE controller
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c895a SCSI controller
Virtio "controller"
There are a bunch of various sata controllers out there (just like
ide and scsi), and qemu does not emulate any of them.

It depends on your needs.

Hint: google for "mergeide". That works for WinXP but not
necessary Win7.
