Um, KQEMU/qvm86 don't do dynamic translation. They are virtualizers. They run
the code given to them (more or less) unchanged. They are simpler than VMware
because they only virtualize a subset of code (they dont support virtualizing
kernel code), so qemu still does translation for the code which cant be
virtualized (and in addition, switches become slightly more expensive due to
needing to convert register state between kernel and user code).

Without them, there is no native code run by qemu - everything is translated.
