Implementing KVM for 970 would require emulating the 970 core in the
kernel (probably the MMU would be the most difficult). I won't say this
is easier or harder than qemu, but it's hard in different ways.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I think it's mostly interest. I have
a G5 at home, but not enough time/interest to work on KVM for it.

Unfortunately at this point some pretty low-level development is
required. Thanks for your offer though; maybe somebody else on this list
will be interested.
