I agree, is there any reason not to enable compiling less into the

There are folks interested in eliminating as much as possible to reduce
the attack surface and auditing requirements, for example.
It's not a bad idea, it's just that what --disable-cpu-emulation does
is evil. Being that I wrote the implementation, I'm quite confident
in declare it as such :-)
Oh, I thought you were against the idea in itself for some reason.
I'll patch it for 0.13, but any ideas on how it should be rework for
master?
Glauber's old Accel interface was close to the right approach. We need
to abstract the exec.c interfaces to use a function pointer table and
have a TCG and KVM implementation. The function pointer tables can then
be registered by a module_init() and we can simply not include the kvm
or TCG files are build time to disable the functionality.
