Why not just make "hypervisor-vendor=kvm" control only the hypervisor
vendor string, and support something like "kvm-hypervisor-level=0" to
restore the old cpuid_hv_level=0 behavior?

This is similar to the kvmclock case: it would allow us to make
"hypervisor-vendor=kvm" use saner values as default, but letting old
machine-types to override it for compatibility if required.
