We're working toward getting kvm merged with qemu so at some point there
won't be a separate kvm userspace tree with qemu. That aside, I know
Anthony was interested in having this available to test out incoming
patches against different qemu build targets, kvm and x86 are just one
of those.

We're punting on the images; developers already have images they use or
can easily create[1] such an images. We should be writing tests that are
general enough to work with differing images in any case.
