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).

Right. We can't include linux/kvm_para.h on a non-Linux build host, but
on the other hand I don't see any reason to not have
cpuid_hv_level=0x40000001 on builds without CONFIG_KVM too.

If we want to allow fake KVM CPUID leaves on non-CONFIG_KVM builds like
the code above does, QEMU needs its own constant for
KVM_CPUID_FEATURES/0x40000001, so it doesn't depend on the Linux header.

Will do a V2 with a local define.
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.
