for the few of us that had been living under a rock, could you give an
explanation on what is QEMU Accel and why we need one?

google bounced me back to the a broken link in the qemu homepage that  doesn't
have a reference to it, and also showed some patches which seem to be trying
to abstract kqemu and kvm which I presume are part of this git tree.

how is this mean to fit on a qemu or kvm installation, and if its main
objective is to be able to have a version of qemu compiled with support for
both kvm and kqemu accelerators, is it at least feature complete enough to
have that working and let you select which one to use?, under which
circumstances?
