QEMU: KVM required to avoid boot dependency issues

Description

While testing QEMU on x86_64 for CIAT, we discovered that without KVM, the AudioManager service failed to started, resulting in multiple retries, none of which succeeded.

Simply adding "-enable-kvm" makes it work again, suggesting that there is a timing or dependency issue happening due to the slow boot time when KVM is disabled.

FYI, this is fixed in CIAT labs where LAVA always starts QEMU w/KVM enabled on x86.

Result: slow and AudioManager fails to start for quite a lot of iterations.
