Can't we do a runtime check to select the default?
NB, this is *not* only about old hardware. There are plenty of users who use QEMU inside VMs. One very common usage I know of is image building tools which are run inside Amazon VMs, using libguestfs & QEMU. IMHO, default to KVM, fallback to TCG is the most friendly default behaviour.
