I actually just ran the following on a beaglebone-black :
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst bridge-utils cpu-checker
The installation went fine, however, kvm.lo is not loaded.
Following is the diagnostics information :

When I do the same things on my x86_64 laptop, all is fine :

Is it because kvm_intel.ko (and kvm_amd.ko) are available, but
kvm_arm.ko not (yet)?
