[PATCH] Detect arch dynamically from uname instead of using hardcoded x86_64 value

[PATCH] Detect arch dynamically from uname instead of using hardcoded x86_64 value

[Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon]

The following patch is part of a series of fixes used to allow for the use of
the kvm python wrapper in Gentoo Linux.

In this case the value for the architecture used is retrieved from uname and
used to identify the right qemu system binary name.

We always compile kvm for the x86_64 target.  So this will select a 
nonexisting binary.
