[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] kvm: Set default accelerator to "kvm" if the host supports it

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>]

If we built a target for a host that supports KVM in principle, set the
default accelerator to KVM as well. This also means the start of QEMU
will fail to start if KVM support turns out to be unavailable at
runtime.
