Honestly, in this case I think it's just confusing for the normal users,
and not sugar (anymore). If I'm an unexperienced user who wants to
enable KVM, and I see multiple options that seem to be related, I wonder
whether they do the same or whether there's a difference, and which one
is preferred. And "-accel kvm" is even less to type than "-enable-kvm",
so there is really no advantage for "-enable-kvm" anymore. I think we
should remove "-enable-kvm" and "-enable-hax" from qemu-doc.texi and
only list it in the new legacy chapter / document.
