By the way, I'm under Fedora 15 + Linux 3.0.0 (from fedora-rawhide repository), maybe this is linked.

I'm seeing the same thing:

bristol [~] % /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -device ? -device pci-assign,? 
-device virtio-blk-pci,? -device virtio-net-pci,?
KVM not supported for this target
No accelerator found!

but qemu-kvm does work as you say:

bristol [~] % /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -device ? -device pci-assign,? -device 
virtio-blk-pci,? -device virtio-net-pci,?
name "pci-assign", bus PCI, desc "pass through host pci devices to the 
guest"
...
