You don't need to compile kqemu into the kernel.  When I install dkms-kqemu
from freshrpms, I do NOT rebuild my kernel.  I am fairly certain with
Fedora's new policy for extras, there would not be much of a problem getting
it added to Fedora.  For that matter, it could probably get added into the
new Enterprise Extra's repository as well.  However, someone would need to
volunteer to maintain the package.
