Michael, Looking into this further I see why kvm_stat wasn't ever properly package was that it was supposed to be superceeded by perf. I see this thread: http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=134694012509766&w=2 And essentially I can run: 'sudo perf kvm stat live' To see some of the same output. Therefore it may not be a good idea to include this script if it was planned on being deprecated a few years ago.
