Alright, I guess that means that KVM compiled into the kernel ... should
be fine, I think.

Oh, are you running qemu-system-ppc instead of qemu-system-ppc64? I
thought these e*500 CPUs are 64-bit? Is your host kernel 64-bit or 32-bit?

Anyway, if you're using a modified version of QEMU, you should
definitely ask the people who did the modifications there.
