See comments #149 and #161. KVM is not about (slow) CPU emulation but about (fast) CPU virtualization. With Power(PC) on Power(PC), KVM-PR lets user mode instructions be run directly but emulates supervisor/privileged instructions, as explained
here and
there. However, this only works with Book III-S on Book III-S (called just 'Book III' in PowerPC ISA and again as of Power ISA v3.0+), not with Book III-S on Book III-E (called 'Book E' during PowerPC ISA era), not with Book III-E on Book III-S, and interestingly also not with Book III-E on Book III-E.

It can, see link in comment #174. The issue lies elsewhere.

See above.
