No, that's a kernel restriction. That is why the patch description reads:
# This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.

(What QEMU is currently missing is A7 support, so you can't ask it to
run an A7 guest CPU.)

-- PMM

Thanks, I saw the checking in the kvm_vcpu_set_target(). I'm confused that what is the concern to run the same cpu type? Does it matter to run A15 on A7 or inverse?
