When I run qemu-kvm's qemu-system-x86_64, and look at the CPU I get in the
guest, I the CPU is clearly "QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.13.50" (qemu64) and
not "Common KVM processor" (kvm64) the "-enable-kvm" option doesn't appear to
change anything. Could this have always been a bug, which remained hidden
in plain sight? :-)

If I send a patch to default to kvm64, not qemu64, when KVM is being used,
would that be acceptable by all parties involved (KVM people and QEMU people)?


The intent of kvm64/qemu64 is to provide some feature stability, so that when you run a guest with those cpu types, you get something expected. So adding to them isn't a good idea.

I think we'd be fine with -cpu host and -cpu qemu64,+vmx enabling vmx support.
