Description
When executed as kvm, qemu-system is run with preference to native hardware-based virtualization, instead
of relying solely on emulation. Essentially kvm is equivalent to qemu-system-x86_64-machineaccel=kvm:tcg so when the host CPU support the kvm mode, native hardware virtualization is enabled, or
qemu-system-x86_64 falls back to the emulation (TCG) mode.
