Nope, kvm_version won't be available after kvm-85 unless we start
parsing qemu-kvm-devel-86.

The reason I didn't do that is that from now on the qemu version and the
is_kvm flag is all we should care about.

i.e. since the kvm-XX releases are purely development snapshots, if
kvm-87 (based on qemu-0.10.50) introduced something new, we'd only
support it for qemu >= 0.11.0 and is_kvm == 1.

Cheers,
Mark.
