How can you be sure?  If qemu-system-* is installed with KVM
compiled in, libvirt will probe it using
"-machine none,accel=kvm:tcg" and run the VM using
"-machine $MACHINE,accel=kvm".

In either case, I'm not arguing (yet) for changing the default
upstream.  I'm just arguing for upstream QEMU to not make any
promises about the default.
