When there is no 'qemu-kvm' binary and the emulator used for a machine is, for example, 'qemu-system-x86_64' that, by default, runs without kvm enabled, libvirt still supplies '-no-kvm' option to this process, even though it does not recognize such option (making the start of a domain fail in that case). This patch fixes building a command-line for QEMU machines without KVM acceleration and is based on following assumptions: - QEMU_CAPS_KVM flag means that QEMU is running KVM accelerated machines by default (without explicitly requesting that using a command-line option). It is the closest to the truth according to the code with the only exception being the comment next to the flag, so it's fixed in this patch as well. - QEMU_CAPS_ENABLE_KVM flag means that QEMU is, by default, running without KVM acceleration and in case we need KVM acceleration it needs to be explicitly instructed to do so. This is partially true for the past (this option essentially means that QEMU recognizes the '-enable-kvm' option, even though it's almost the same).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
