The relatively new KVM (native) is different from the KVM (based on Qemu) that most Linux users are familiar with, and I think the latter is the one that drag was referring to. I believe the native KVM was written from scratch and so has not much to do with the KVM based on Qemu.

And these are different again from the KVM (switch) that has been around for even longer. I do wish they picked different names.

And, of course, the KVM kernel component is used both by the new KVM tool and by qemu-kvm.

People are getting very nit picky.

Yeah sure you can use something other then Qemu with KVM, but the Qemu + KVM is what people are going to be generally using at this time.

Yes. What I was really nitpicking at was people who said that QEMU was used by KVM. As with any kernel service, it's the other way around!
