ok, so these are a few steps to begin (a) add a QEMUMachine for my h/w in qemu (b) Add arch support in kvm I have a few questions (a) qemu starts in user space, how would I configure my linux. Should the linux run in Hypervisor state and the apps run in user state, and nothing runs in guest state

IMHO, one thing you should keep in mind is how to isolate the guest space based on your hardware MMU. And then deal with the exceptions carefully, some may be directly send to guest and some should be handled by hypervisor. In powerpc BOOKE implementation, we have to hijack all exceptions, beca
