Correct, but we should be able to easily determine that by checking
which module is loaded (kvm_intel or kvm_amd). I'm sure we can just use
the equivalent for amd.

But again, this needs to be able to work with non-x86 too, which means
at the end, we need to make this configurable. Either by having plugins
loaded by checking what system it is on, and seeing what options are
available.
