As requested by Alex this patch makes kvm64 the default CPU
model when qemu is started with -enable-kvm. This takes only
effect for qemu-versions newer or equal to 0.14.0.

Looks fine to me, given CPUs are not in qdev. Anthony?

The idea is fine, but why not just add the default CPU to the machine 
description?

If I remember correctly the reason was that the machine description was
not accessible in the cpuid initialization path because it is a function
local variable. I could have made it a global variable but considered
the compat_version approach simpler. The qemu_compat_version might also
be useful at other places.
