Or you could use VirtualBox ;)

BTW, are there any known substantial (practically visible)
benefits to using KVM over using VirtualBox? I believe the
"pros" of KVM would include:
* Clarity on licensing (same as illumos - free for use)
* Kernel integration - faster execution (is it measured?)

The "cons" may include the limited models of CPUs that KVM
currently supports, while VirtualBox is more omnivorous.

I believe both allow interops with other platforms (i.e.
to migrate a VM from an OI host to another one, or to import
VMs onto OI hosts).

I saw allegations on the list that enabling both KVM and
VB on the same machine can have negative effects - true?
