Hm, looks like it but that doesn't seem to be available for the regular
builds. The is a vdsm-hook-faqemu package though which when comparing the
code seems to do a similar thing (it also uses the "fake_kvm_support"
setting from vdsm.conf like simpleqemu).
Is the latter maybe a replacement of the former?
