Ah, okay. I should probably just do a test install of SmartOS and get a 
little more familiarity with how it actually works, which would likely 
be helpful. Unfortunately, the only test hardware I currently have on 
hand with a sufficient Intel processor for kvm under illumos is running 
my omnios testbed :(, and since nested virtualization isn't supported 
<sigh>. I'll have to see if I can snake more hardware from someplace :).

I look forward to seeing your work on the kvm brand port when you get a 
chance, thanks...
