Not a chance. This is not a normal QEMU binary. This is a
seriously hacked up binary tailored to serve as the guest
HVM guest emulation layer. It is no longer capable of
running as a normal QEMU emulator.

kqemu is notoriously unreliable, hence upstream QEMU has
even stopped including support for it in new releases.
