sve_tests_sve_off_kvm() and test_query_cpu_model_expansion_kvm()
tests are now only being run if KVM is available. Drop the TCG
fallback.

Same comment as with patch 04/99: I think this is wrong. You're mixing up
whether an accelerator has been built into the binary with the fact whether
an accelerator is available and usable. There are plenty of cases where e.g.
kvm is built into the binary but not usable during runtime, e.g. because:
1) The kernel does not support it
2) The current host CPU does not support it
3) There are problems with the permission to /dev/kvm
etc.
I think we either need the fallback mechanism to tcg or you need to properly
check whether KVM is usable, too.
