The message when ACCEL=kvm and kvm not available is rather confusing.
Let's produce (hopefully) easier to understand message.

This will now be inconsistent with scripts/runtime.bash. Also,
the 'kvm only' message conveys that this test can only run with
kvm, as opposed to also with tcg. While I agree it's terse, we've
now lost that information with the new message. Additionally, I
would say 'this system' instead of 'your system' in the message.

I think Radim has some plans for giving run script error messages
an overhaul. Maybe he can address this one with that series too?
Anyway, for now, I would suggest we drop this patch.

Thanks,
drew

I thought the message probably has some inner-context, but for me it was 
super confusing. Even more because I'm using

     ACCEL=kvm,kvm-type=PR ...

in some of my power testing, which works well, but when I tried

     ACCEL=kvm ...

it reported test skips. I'm looking forward to some proper errors 
handling (and ways to pass SKIPs as well).

Thank you and feel free to drop this patch,
Lukáš
