Do you really mean kqemu and not kvm ? We do not ship kqemu in Fedora, and upstream QEMU has deleted all code relating to kqemu so its use is not supported in any way, nor likely tobe in the future.

Ok, well kqemu doesn't use hugepages, and since its dead upstream, we don't intend to enhance it todo so.
