Bug Description

qemu-kvm calls /usr/share/qemu/init/qemu-kvm-init

This has a very early check on kvm modules, and exits if not on x86/ppc64 (as the others don't need modules).

But some later pieces of the code are beneficial for other arches (arm/s390x).
For example making /dev/kvm available in a container.

Since there were no complains in all of 16.04-18.04 this should be fine for >=18.10 without SRU.

LGTM on the latest MP for the merge.
Also cleaned up some of the old PPC special cases that didn't work correctly and no more apply on P9.
