KVM already supports all the bootable kernel formats.  I didn't have to
change a userland thing when I switched to ELF kernels - ps and friends
"just worked".

As for the kernel, we've still got a decision to make about how to best
support all boot methods.  Ie, do we ship ECOFF or ELF kernels.  I don't
think we have a final decision on that yet...  However, booting from a
diskfull machine, ELF will be the preferred kernel format.
