Add a configure option --enable-pc-1-0-qemu-kvm and the corresponding --disable-pc-1-0-qemu-kvm, defaulting to disabled.
Rename machine type pc-1.0 to pc-1.0-qemu-git.
Make pc-1.0 machine type an alias of either pc-1.0-qemu-kvm or pc-1.0-qemu-git depending on the value of the config option.

I have to say, this one bothers me. We end up not being able to predict what does pc-1.0 reference.
Users also don't get qemu from git so I don't see why does git make sense in the name?
Legacy management applications invoked qemu as qemu-kvm - how about detecting that name and switching the machine types?
Ugh! I like that even less than a configure option.
It might make sense to also set -enable-kvm and change default CPU to kvm64 in this case.
Yup.
