I guess "telling the user in advance whether enabling kvm is
going to work" (either via -help output or via monitor to
tell libvirt about it) might want that, and for that matter
maybe kvmtool might want to present a list of available CPUs.

(I probably wouldn't implement the 'say if it's going to
work in -help' bit immediately though because QEMU's internal
structure makes it a little awkward. But if we might want
it it's probably better for the kernel API to be there
from the start.)
