Since this is a pretty standard mechanism, it may make sense to

It could
also be useful to expose the PV features mask in cpuinfo too.
What for? We already expose a QEMU cpu type that shows up in
cpuinfo as so.
All we'd have to do would be put the kvm information in the cpu type
too. This would work
in all kernels, without the need to patch.
What I'm talking about, is something like:
HypervisorPresent: yes
HypervisorType: KVM
Why not rather do
Platform: native
Or
Platform: KVM
So things stay consistent :)

Where HypervisorVendor could be KVM, Hyper-V, or ESX based on what
the cpuid leaf matched.
