From the fosdem homepage:

  We would like to inform all interested parties that the call for devrooms is 
running at its end.
  Coming Saturday, 16 October at 23.59 the call for devrooms closes.

So I guess this idea came too late. We will have another KVM/Kernel track 
during the Chemnitzer Linux Tage next year, but that's not quite the same.
