We should collapse this into one entry - I don't have any preference on
the naming convention, but as Fuel checks to see whether the hardware is
capable of performing KVM acceleration, there's no reason to continue
giving a selection to the user regarding KVM.

Today, when a user selects KVM, Fuel attempts to use KVM acceleration and
defaults to QEMU in the case that KVM acceleration is not possible.  We
should keep this behavior and make the entry a single KVM/QEMU selection
to eliminate the false perception of choice (and the ability for users to
select the incorrect option).

Libvirt isn't a hypervisor either.  Note that Xen, Virtuozzo CT, Virtuozzo
VM, LXC and KVM on ppc64 and s390x are all valid hypervisors to use with
Libvirt and OpenStack (taken from
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/support-matrix.html)
