This package provides the source code for the kqemu kernel modules. the qemu package is also required in order to make use of these modules. kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.

the qemu accelerator module increases the speed of qemu when a pc is emulated on a pc. it runs most of the target application code directly on the host processor to achieve near native performance. it is very useful when you want to run another operating system (for example windows) on a linux desktop.
