This bugreport has nothing to do with macvtap.

Your problem with cpu/machine and kvm(64) - you forgot -enable-kvm option.
-enable-kvm is a shorthand for -machine accel=kvm, that's the source of
you confusion, -- it is not -machine kvm and not -cpu kvm which you tried
to intermix.

And yes, there's no docs about using macvtap.

qemu has a very simple command-line interface to not require any management
whatsoever.  But you have to use correct options, not mix-match several of
them in a bogus combination.
