I have a locally-built qemu-system-x86_64 installed in /usr/bin, and the only way I could get it to work properly was copy /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 to /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (a symlink would likely do the job just as well). There is a bit of code just doesn't happen unless /usr/bin/qemu-kvm or /usr/bin/kvm exist and are executable, although I have to say that once I solved my own problem by making a copy of the file with the proper name, I stopped trying to understood exactly what was happening in that code :-)
