Kvm work for Q
kvm is the preferred hardware emulation platform in Ubuntu. The goal of
this work is to follow and help test upstream development, collaborate on
bug fixing with upstream, and ensure that kvm is stable and fullfills our
needs.

Development Notes:
The plan in Debian is to soon drop qemu-kvm. The package reorg in this cycle was insufficient (Debian maintainer agrees). For q+1, I'd like to more closely mirror the Debian package layout, which will likely require some qemu-linaro changes as well. We will have a session at UDS to discuss this, with prep work done before hand to show the full effects.
