Without kvm support you would run plain qemu (the basis for kvm) as your 
emulator with kqemu as a kernel module that makes x86 instructions run 
directly on your x86 (most of the time) and not have to be emulated.

In have not tried qemu on recent versions of Ubuntu, but I have used it 
on earlier versions. It works.
