That is my understading too - kqemu needs to run in Ring 0, which is
reserved for the hypervisor under Xen.

If you load Linux (or such) in HVM mode, you can run kqemu inside that
Linux. I'm not entirely sure I understand the advantage of this,
compared to running the OS you want to run in QEMU inside a HVM virtual
machine in the first place, but yes, it's possible.
