I forgot to update you guys on this. I got around to implement ppc32 host support myself in between and it's all upstream in the kvm.git tree.

I also have a bunch of patches partially waiting to get accepted upstream and partially in my local tree still that speed up things by introducing a PV interface very similar to the MOL one. So until those are in, please don't expect MOL for KVM to be uber-fast :).
