[one-users] Configure hosts to use qemu without kvm hardware acceleration

Shouldn't qemu fallback to "paravitualization" when hardware acceleration
isn't available?

I was confident that qemu could detect on the fly if hardware
virtualization was available and would enable it or not as appropriate.
until your post...

Are you getting an error with OpenNebula?

Thanks,
