How does it matter? KVM tool does not compete with QEMU. The use
cases for both programs are different. KVM tool is a helper for kernel
developers during development and additionally good example code on how
to use the KVM kernel interface (because it focuses on KVM only while
QEMU is much more than a KVM userspace).
Therefore it makes sense for KVM tool to be developed in the kernel tree
while it doesn't make sense for QEMU.
