It sounds like you may be building the old qemu-kvm.git source code. Last year qemu-kvm.git was merged back into qemu.git. It means you should use git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git if you are building from source. Some distros are creating transitional packages or wrapper scripts that build QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64) and provide a /usr/bin/kvm or qemu-kvm executable.
