kvm and qemu both support pretty much the same features (kvm uses qemu
as it's user interface).  kqemu is a kernel module to allow qemu to do
pretty much what vmware does for virtual machines, while kvm does the
same thing using the hardware virtualization features (and hence faster
and more efficiently).

Well unfortunately, the T5600 and up has VT, the T5500 does not (unless
it is the one stepping that accidentally had VT support enabled, but that
was stepping 2 and you have stepping 6).  Intel really isn't helping to
make this less confusing.  They like to turn off features on low end
chips for no good reason other than they can.
