Use KVM or HVF if supported by the QEMU binary and available on the
system.

This produces a nice improvement on my Apple M3 Pro running macOS 14.7:

Before:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec --arch arm64
[HH:MM:SS] Elapsed time: 10.145s

After:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec --arch arm64
[HH:MM:SS] Elapsed time: 1.773s

QEMU supports falling back if one accelerator is not available, if you
specify multiple like -accel kvm:tcg.  Couldn't you rely on that rather
than re-implementing the availability checks here?

Have you ever used that? Here's what I get when I try:

tamird@Tamirs-MacBook-Pro linux % tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
--arch arm64 --make_options LLVM=1 --raw_output=all
[10:45:03] Configuring KUnit Kernel ...

Populating config with:

Building with:
$ make all compile_commands.json ARCH=arm64 O=.kunit --jobs=12 LLVM=1
[10:45:07] Starting KUnit Kernel (1/1)...
Running tests with:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -m 1024 -kernel

stdio -accel kvm:tcg -machine virt -cpu max
qemu-system-aarch64: -accel kvm:tcg: invalid accelerator kvm:tcg

The same thing happens with hvf:kvm:tcg or just hvf:tcg.

I also can't find this in the documentation.

That syntax is for -machine accel=hvf:kvm:tcg.
But you can also specify -accel multiple times.

-accel name[,prop=value[,...]]
      This  is used to enable an accelerator. [..]
      If there is more than one accelerator specified,
      the next one is used if the previous one fails to initialize.

-machine [type=]name[,prop=value[,...]]
      Supported machine properties are:

      accel=accels1[:accels2[:...]]
	     [..]
	     If there is more than one accelerator specified,
	     the next one is used if the  previous one fails to initialize.

Nice, thank you. These details seem to appear only in the docs[0] and
not in the output of `--help`. I'll make that change in v2.
