When running QEMU without -cpu parameter, the user usually wants a sane default. So far, we're using the qemu64/qemu32 CPU type, which basically means "the maximum TCG can emulate".
That's a really good default when using TCG, but when running with KVM we much rather want a default saying "the maximum KVM can support". Fortunately we already have such a CPU type. It's called "host". All we need to do is to select it by default when not getting a -cpu passed in. This fixes a lot of subtile breakage in the GNU toolchain (libgmp) which hicks up on QEMU's non-existent CPU models.
