But - this is all nice on the drawing board. It just requires a
reasonable balance between required effort (wouldn't be small, I guess)
and future relevance. For x86, by AMD and Intel at least (not sure about
VIA right now),

As of the recently announced Isaiah microarchitecture, VIA includes support for VT.

 you see hardware virtualization in every new processor.
So kqemu becomes less and less relevant over the time. The thrilling
question is: Is that period long enough to justify a kqemu / soft-kvm,
and to push the result mainline?
