I've attached a new patch below. It's still setting kvm_allowed to 0
in two places - if kvm_qemu_init() fails and if the -no-kvm option is
passed, but it now does a kind of "try-and-see" and sets it to zero if
it fails. This is done regardless of if -no-kvm is passed or not.
I split initialization and creation of a vm in qemu-kvm.c.
The code duplication was there before, and I have not changed that.

Sorry, true.
I was actually mostly thinking of the naming (I prefer the simpler
kvm_t).
