It will?  Ah, right.  I see that QEMU_PKGVERSION has been added to it.  

Weird.  I did attempt to add the KVM version to "info version" a while
ago, but this was (rightfully) rejected due to the monitor command
stability requirements and the fact that it would affect non-KVM usage
too.

Well, I guess my extended usage of "info kvm" isn't necessary anymore.
But it would IMHO still be useful to define the ouput as a variable
number of lines of 'name: value' sets.  I realise that we can't know for
sure that this won't break any parser anywhere, but such bugs should be
fairly easy to fix for those affected, if anyone.
