Okay, I think this patch solves the issues. We check upfront
for the base emulator and potential kvm emulators (qemu-kvm,
and /usr/bin/kvm for ubuntu/upstream .spec). If nothing is
found, just return. If only the base emulator is found, skip
kvm even if /dev/kvm exists. If only kvm bin is found, add
the base emulator capabilities only if emulator and host arch
matches.

Thanks,
Cole
