Just a little thought...

Maybe 'VCPU' would be a clearer name?  QEMU provides its own VCPU, and
KQEMU+QEMU also provide one toegether.  While KVM provides essentially
one or more whole VCPUs by itself and uses QEMU's drivers only doesn't
it?

VCPU is rather confusing with the vcpus themselves. KVM, for instance,
has its own structures called "vcpu".

If it is preferred, however, we can name the structure VCPUOperations,
and change the function names that involves accel_yyy to vcpu_op_yyy()

What do you think?
