ACK to the idea; the wording was a bit awkward and it was longer than 80
columns.  Here's what I pushed, adding my name to S-o-B to reflect my
changes:

 * Get the name of the Hypervisor driver used. This is merely the driver
 * name; for example, both KVM and QEMU guests are serviced by the
 * driver for the qemu:// URI, so a return of "QEMU" does not indicate
 * whether KVM acceleration is present.  For more details about the
 * hypervisor, use virConnectGetCapabilities().
