[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1387881] Re: qemu fails to recognize full virtualization

[Chris J Arges]

So I'm not completely sure virtinst should depend on qemu-kvm, since we
assume one can use it without --virt-type=kvm, so my thoughts would be
you should install additional package as necessary to use qemu w/ KVM.
I'll let hallyn comment as well.

  I haven't been able to get much out of libvirt as the kvm instance
  never starts.
