I don't think we can do this as it means the guest CPU may change unexpectedly
for existing domains. A 32b domain started on current libvirt would see qemu32,
while the same domain started after this patch would see kvm32.
Also, IIUC, kvm32 is a fairly newly introduced CPU type for KVM - ie most
deployments of KVM won't support it.
