Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:
 > The second patch looks good. For the first one couldn't we call
 something like `kvm -h` to test if KVM is available instead of omitting
 this check on Debian machines entirely?

 I don't think running "kvm -h" is very useful as it would only mean that
 the qemu-kvm package is installed. But maybe we can include a copy of the
 kvm-ok script from ubuntu into our repo. The script seems to be working
 fine on Debian. I will post a patch to do that.
