Not tested at all but I think the attached patch addresses it in a 
pretty nice way.

There's a couple ways you could support your patch on top of this.  You 
could add a kvm_cpu_model to the machine structure that gets defaulted 
too if kvm_enabled().  You could also introduce a new KVM machine type 
that gets defaulted to if no explicit machine is specified.

The reason we've avoided having a builtin notion of versions is that we 
have many downstreams where versioning would get very complicated.  If 
we stick to features it makes it much easier for downstreams.

I had something similar in mind but then I realized that we need at
least a cpu_model and a cpu_model_kvm to distinguish between the TCG and
the KVM case.
Further the QEMUMachine data structure is used for all architectures in
QEMU and the model-names only make sense for x86. So I decided for the
comapt-version way (which doesn't mean I object against this one ;-) )

I would think that having different default machines for KVM and TCG 
would be a better solution.

SPARC uses cpu_model too FWIW.  I believe Blue Swirl has even discussed 
using a feature-format similar to how x86 does it for SPARC CPUs.

Actually I copied Sparc feature support from x86. Generic feature
support would be nice.
