FYI, I advised David on this approach after observing the qemu driver
behavior with both qemu and kvm packages installed.  On this system, the
capabilities for a x86-86, hvm guest contain

<guest>
  <os_type>hvm</os_type>
  <arch name='x86_64'>
    <wordsize>64</wordsize>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
    <machine>pc-1.1</machine>
    <machine canonical='pc-1.1'>pc</machine>
    <machine>pc-1.0</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.15</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.14</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.13</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.12</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.11</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.10</machine>
    <machine>isapc</machine>
    <domain type='qemu'>
    </domain>
    <domain type='kvm'>
      <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>
      <machine>pc-1.1</machine>
      <machine canonical='pc-1.1'>pc</machine>
      <machine>pc-1.0</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.15</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.14</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.13</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.12</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.11</machine>
      <machine>pc-0.10</machine>
      <machine>isapc</machine>
    </domain>
  </arch>
  <features>
    <cpuselection/>
    <deviceboot/>
    <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/>
    <apic default='on' toggle='no'/>
  </features>
</guest>

After a second look, the <domain type='kvm'> and <domain type='qemu'>
elements and their subelements aren't symmetrical.  Seems <domain
type='qemu'> should include the emulator and supported machines, e.g.

  <domain type='qemu'>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
    <machine>pc-1.1</machine>
    <machine canonical='pc-1.1'>pc</machine>
    <machine>pc-1.0</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.15</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.14</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.13</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.12</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.11</machine>
    <machine>pc-0.10</machine>
    <machine>isapc</machine>
  </domain>

Jim
