What's wrong with that? That puzzles me as well. If tools/kvm/ is really such a bad approach then it will just wither and die, like one of the thousand stale drivers we have in the kernel - or like lguest it ends up as a cool hack that didnt quite make it. Judging by the many contributions tools/kvm/ has already attracted in its limited form an out of tree project i'd not bet on that outcome though.
