Ok, I will keep this information and in fact found references that also in
f11 stock,
even if one installs kqemu package from rpmfusion, he/she receives the error

What exactly do you mean with "ripped out of upstream"?
That I cannot use at all the tgz provided inside the src.rpm?
At least I would like to try something, as I read happy Ubuntu users
regarding kqemu and recent qemu and kernel versions.... and with very good
performance in guests too...
Having a BL25p G1 server with two Dual core Amd 275 cpus and getting so slow
VMs is a pity... in my opinion

OK. But perhaps if one could at least test...
