Someone believes that QEMU no longer benefits from kqemu.  Also, kqemu 
is incompatible with kvm.

You will need to rebuild qemu with kqemu enabled.  Attached are two 
patches:  one to be placed in rpmbuild/SOURCES, and the other to serve 
as a guide to altering the qemu.spec file (please don't use my 
initials when you set the version).  Use `rpmbuild --recompile -bp 
qemu-*.src.rpm` to unpack the files (you can interrupt the build with 
Ctl-C once you see that %prep has been started), and after altering the 
spec file, `rpmbuild -ba qemu.spec` to build with the altered spec 
file.
