If you really want to go crazy, why not run OpenStack in an OpenStack instance 
to launch your qemu machines:

That did it! I'm now creating a CentOS KVM image in an Ubuntu OpenStack VM. 
I'll wait until it finishes before celebrating, but there are no errors so far.

Just to clarify, I first installed linux-image-generic but it didn't 
automatically bring in linux-image-extra-$version-generic. I did an apt-cache 
search and found linux-image-extra-virtual. I installed that and it brought in 
KVM. I subsequently had to start qemu-kvm manually, but it did start.

I'll update this thread if and when the CentOS image is created successfully.

Thanks, Robert!
