There's two options, we can default to installing the whoile of QEMU which includes all arch emulators and KVM (eg, the qemu RPM), or default to just the x86 emulators (which includes KVM, but only if non an x86 host - we qemu-system-x86 RPM). I think its probably worth going for 'qemu-system-x86' in comps, because the non-x86 archs are not really used very much and quite alot less stable.
