This is especially true, given that adding support for a new > architecture in KVM seems to be a huge task for a GSOC. MontaVista has KVM for MIPS on their product slides [1]. Maybe someone has a good contact to them and can poke for more details. They probably won't offer it for direct download but need to distribute it to their customers as open source anyway.
