You have been subscribed to a public bug:

As the following output indicates, the QEMU hypervisor type is used even
when libvirt_type = kvm in nova.conf.

# grep libvirt_type /etc/nova/nova.conf
libvirt_type = kvm
# nova hypervisor-show 1 | grep hypervisor_type
| hypervisor_type      | QEMU 

It appears that the OpenStack libvirt driver uses the libvirt connection
type to determine the hypervisor type instead of the libvirt_type
configuration option.  Should libvirt_type be used to determine KVM vs
QEMU hypervisor type or is there another configuration for this?  From a
user perspective, getting the QEMU versus KVM hypervisor type correct is
important when setting the hypervisor_type property on an image.
