[Bug 1686093] [NEW] KVM hidden support

 

Public bug reported:

Since QEMU 2.1 there is added new feature: kvm_hidden. 
It allows to hide the KVM hypervisor signature on the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load.
