For now, we only support same-guest-as-host-cpu configurations with
KVM.  In the future we may add the cross CPU-type support for KVM, and
I suppose we can do this with TCG already.

I would suggest merging this now though, to get kvm-unit-tests working
on the platforms we have available and then add the more complicated
tests when there's an actual need, but it's obviously up to you.
