Sure, I can add them ... actually, there are even some more talks
related to KVM , e.g. the one from Vitaly:

 https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/vai_kvm_on_hyperv/

or related to Xen:

 https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/vai_pci_emulation/

But the problem is: Where to draw the line? E.g. there was also a talk
about DOSEMU2 which can now use KVM, too. And if we include the lower
layer, should the list also include the upper layers like libvirt?
oVirt? KubeVirt? ... Well, I'd say since this blog post is for the QEMU
blog, we should really limit it to talks that are at least partly about
using or improving QEMU directly. So I'd maybe include the virtio talk,
but things that only affect KVM should maybe rather go into a KVM blog
somewhere else? (www.linux-kvm.org does not have a blog yet, does it?)

Thanks!
