The Ubuntu libvirt had a early version of the patch for supporting the 'boot=on' parameter - I believe they always use it for any VM with a domain type of 'kvm'. Since you are using regular QEMU it is correct that you need to change the domain type to type=qemu anyway.
My problem if I use "qemu" as domain type is the guest is slow enough to make me think it doesnt use the kvm.
In the beginning, and in Ubuntu documentation, the domain type is "qemu" as default.
So, the question that might solve the problems: How can assume it's realy using kvm (and not just qemu)? Note: when I launch the guest via the "kvm" command [1], it's faster.
