I am wondering why the accelerator module is named kqemu. I know it
probably means "Kernel QEMU" but there is a KDE frontend for qemu called
KQEMU at kqemu.sf.net, and it looks like KQEMU (the gui) had the name first.
So why give the accelerator module a conflicting name?

But kernel stuff got named k* before KDE existed :-)

I was thinking about this too. In the (unlikely??) event that, say PPC
on PPC gets accelerated, or x86-64 on x86-64 (or even x86-on-windows),
we will want other names for the accelerators for these. Perhaps
something descriptive like qemu-x86-accel or qemu-ppc-accel...
Cheers,
D
