Bug Description
In contrast to the Linux kernel for x86_64, the CONFIG_KVM option is disabled for the "linux-raspi2" kernel (version 4.15.0-1016-raspi2 aarch64) on Ubuntu 18.04.
This prevents running QEMU with the -enable-kvm option to use hardware virtualization capabilities of the CPU.
I have recompiled the kernel with CONFIG_KVM set and could successfully run QEMU with -enable-kvm on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ afterwards.
In my opinion, there is no reason for not activating CONFIG_KVM in the official raspi2 kernel.
