There's a Fedora bug about a related invocation crashing:

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 128 -vga std -boot d
-cpu pentium -machine isapc

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986790

So I tried your patch on git master, but it gives:

qemu-system-x86_64: Property '.kvmvapic' not found

Changing the property name to 'vapic' fixes both issues for me.

Thanks,
Cole
