but just want to get sure.
ARMv5 is now a very old revision of the ARM architecture, and lacks a
lot of the features that KVM absolutely requires. If you're absolutely
desperate to try some form of virtualization on ARMv5, there used to be
a Xen PV port which must be bitrotting somewhere...
Otherwise, just grab a very basic A7 board (Allwinner A20 boards are
pretty decent), you'll get KVM up and running pretty easily.

I believe that device uses an old ARMv5 CPU, which cannot run VMs.
You
need a Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A7 to run ARMv7 VMs.
