The other wrinkle is that Illumos seems likely to move away from KVM 
to FreeBSD's bhyve since it is a much better fit for Illumos.  See 
https://omniosce.org/info/bhyve for some info.

Both KVM and bhyve seem to currently require Intel (not AMD) CPUs to 
work properly.  Given that AMD is now competitive again with CPUs, and 
given that Joyent is working hard on bhyve, and given that Illumos and 
FreeBSD developers have a history of working together, it appears that 
bhyve will eventually dominate and KVM will eventually be deprecated.
