Yes it is:
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd 30940 3
kvm 153112 1 kvm_amd
The problem was that not enough of the qemu stack was installed. I
had qemu-common, qemu-x86, qemu-system-x86 installed by yum. I'd
assumed they pull in whatever was necessary. Silly me. Installed all
qemu, now I get the new machine box.
hang on ... so which qemu-related package was missing? i'm thinking
qemu-user but it would be nice to clarify that.
