[PATCH] qemu: x86_64 is good enough for i686

[Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@xxxxx>]

virt-manager on Fedora sets up i686 hosts with "/usr/bin/qemu-kvm" emulator,
which in turn unconditionally execs qemu-system-x86_64 querying capabilities
then fails:

Error launching details: invalid argument: architecture from emulator 'x86_64' doesn't match given architecture 'i686'

Traceback (most recent call last):
