Indeed. Dunno why I saw this.

I don't want to keep things there. I want to push useful stuff upstream
and remove the rest. Alternatively, qemu-kvm specific release helpers
could be kept private in the top-level scripts/ of qemu-kvm.

My suggestion:
 - kvm/kvm_stat		-> qemu.git/scripts/kvm/kvm_stat
 - kvm/scripts/vmxcap	-> qemu.git/scripts/kvm/vmxcap
 - kvm/scripts/*-release-> qemu-kvm.git/scripts
 - rm -r kvm
