I disagree, i find it pretty handy and intuitive to run 'kvm ./disk.img' to
boot KVM and this particular tool name has not been taken yet either.

Some distributions install qemu-kvm as /usr/bin/kvm.

perf uses a similar concept: the kernel subsystem is generally called 'perf',
and the (Linux specific) user-space tool is called 'perf' as well. It makes
quite a bit of sense.

Well, this is bound to cause confusion as the tool is yet quite immature.
