I'm aware of the fact that likely a lot of users are still using -enable-kvm, and I did not mean that we should remove it soon yet. But IMHO we should start now to inform the users that they should slowly switch to the better option "-accel" instead, so that we could maybe remove this "-enable-xxx" stuff sometime in the distant future (let's say QEMU v4.0?).
