Why, an instance of a kernel virtual machine, of course! It was the
very first thing I wrote for this project!

Well, I don't really think 'struct machine' is that much better. The
obvious benefits of 'struct kvm' is that it's the same name that's
used by Qemu and libkvm and maps nicely to '/dev/kvm'.
If you really, really wanna change it, I could use some more
convincing or bribes of some sort.
