EAX should be KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001) not 0.
If kvm is not configured, the additional option of hypervisor-level=1
(or hypervisor-level=0x40000001) needs to be specified to get this.

If CPUID[0x40000000].EAX set to 0 is documented as equivalent to having
it set to 0x40000001 (KVM_CPUID_FEATURES), why the confusing checks for
CONFIG_KVM? Why not always set it to KVM_CPUID_FEATURES?
At line 36 of the file:
#if defined(CONFIG_KVM)
#include <linux/kvm_para.h>
#endif
So without the check you get compile failures (i386-linux-user).
I have no issue with removing the check(s) for 0. Currently
hypervisor-level=0 will not force the old values; I can make a change so
that works.
