Well I can't run kvm on most of my hardware.  Strangely I thought
(apparently incorrectly) that kqemu needed hardware virtualization
support too.  I mainly use qemu to emulate powerpc so kqemu and kvm has
been more just a toy to play around with, although I am starting to use
kvm a bit now for other things.  Seems nicer than vmware actually,
as long as you have hardware that can run it.
