Steve Yarmie b827338a72 qemu-kvm needs -enable-kvm flag for VT optimization 
Recent qemu releases require command option '-enable-qemu' in order
for the kvm functionality be activated. Libvirt needs to pass this flag
to qemu when starting a domain. Note that without the option,
even if both the kernel and qemu support KVM, KVM will not be activated
and VMs will be very slow.

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: parse the extra command
  line option from help and add it when running kvm
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: this modified the flags output for qemu-0.10.5
  and qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc2 regression tests

         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.
