This I added in patch 30.
The reason for the suboptimal patch ordering was just me being lazy and
avoiding rebasing annoyance. I'd written a bunch of failing test cases
for QEMU work, but hadn't done the kvm/tcg test yet. It had a few
conflicts so I put it at the end... can rebase if you'd really prefer.

Also covered in patch 30.
