Thanks Munzir.  For anyone following along, the easiest way to verify is
to do

  kvm-spice -monitor stdio -vnc :1

and see:

QEMU 1.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info kvm
kvm support: disabled

I agree that ideally for it to be named kvm, it should have kvm enabled
by default.  That that isn't happening is an unfortunate side-effect of
sharing the codebase with the qemu tree in universe.  I'm not sure
however whether patching the code during build to enable kvm by default
would be acceptable or (in terms of long-term maintenance) desirable.
While the patch would be simple, it would be almost certain to rot over
time and eventually cause a build failure or, worse, a subtler hard-to-
diagnose error.

Another alternative is to rename kvm-spice to qemu-spice.  That in
itself seems unfortunate to me, and offhand I"m not sure if that would
cause issues with having libvirt call it when qemu-kvm was available.

A third possibility is to accept it and leave this as an open, known,
bug.

So I'm open to input right now about the best path forward.
