Even though these patches are potentially destabilazing, I'd like them 
(and a few other patches) to go into 2.6.20:

- kvm did not exist in 2.6.19, hence we cannot regress from that
- this patchset is the difference between a working proof of concept and 
a generally usable system
- from my testing, it's quite stable
