Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 2.1+dfsg-5
Severity: important

kvm fails to start when specifying any cpu type. The user running the kvm/qemu command has been placed in the kvm group and the cpu model name when doing cat /proc/cpuinfo in the VM instance shows "Qemu Virtual CPU version 2.1.2" (albeit it says vendor_id "AuthenticAMD" but the native processor is actually intel)

The system can boot but it is very slow.

The command that I used:
 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 type=kvm64 $options

I've got 2.1+dfsg-4 on another system which doesn't exhibit this performance and cpu problem

((
modprobe kvm and kvm-intel was applied
modinfo kvm shows
filename:       /lib/modules/3.16-2-amd64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko

kernel here is linux-image-3.16-2-amd64
))

"qemu-system-x86_64: -machine type=kvm64: Unsupported machine type
Use -machine help to list supported machines"

but kvm -cpu help shows support for it
x86            kvm64  Common KVM processor

there's something definitely wrong because cat /proc/cpuinfo should be saying intel instead of amd

please look into this, thanks
