Bear in mind that if you do this, we make *zero* guarentee about compatability
with future releases. We reserve the right to change the way we invoke KVM,
the args we pass, and OS interaction. So while you can run it via 'nice', 
it is conceivable that future libvirt will override whatever setting you
make.
