Hi Lindsay,

as far as I know, KVM stand for KERNEL VIRTUAL MACHINES.
When a VM is talking to KVM, in reality it's talking directly to kernel hypervisor. There is not any software layering that is running the virtualization for you.
It's just the kernel.

This means: really high performance (no intermediates) but Kernel exposed to upstream attacks.

Ummmmm ... No. KVM/Qemu is fully virtualised.
