Makes me wonder why the SDK doesn't use an x86 vm by default in the first place.

Wouldn't all the NDK programs at least have to be recompiled?
You'll effectively have* to post ICS; Intel is an officially supported platform now (and Google TV is currently Intel only, provided you want to be on that platform).

* Presuming you want your NDK app to run any Intel-based tablets/phones.

At Google I/O, the sdk team said it was coming in the next months (along with GPU support), but the downside was that KVM is not readily available outside linux
Not much of a downside imo. Serious non-.NET developers should be using Linux anyway.
