This patch fixes qemuConnectGetType() API function to return KVM if

No further check is being done so it's merely showing the possibility
that KVM virtualization is available on the host however we don't
have any guest information (as it's connection-only related) so we
cannot sure we can use KVM. This can be useful to identify we have
KVM (Virt Support) available on the host if host and guest archs
are the same.
NACK, you are confusing two different things. virConnectGetType
is intended to return the libvirt driver name. This is *always*
'QEMU'.
If you want to know whether kvm virt is possible or not, then
query the capabilities XML.
