Like this?

upstream qemu   |  default  |-enable-kvm
----------------+-----------+-----------
KVM available   | disabled  |  enabled
KVM unavailable | disabled  |    fail

qemu-kvm        |  default  |-enable-kvm|  -no-kvm
----------------+-----------+-----------+-----------
KVM available   |  enabled* |  enabled  |  disabled
KVM unavailable | disabled  |    fail   |  disabled

* differs from upstream

Yes.
