Fedora has decided only to support armv7 (& v8, but you can't buy that
hardware).  The RPi's ARM chip is armv6.  As a result Fedora isn't
building this but it's handed off to someone else to do a remix.  AIUI
they have to recompile everything, not just the kernel, so it takes a
while.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
