I've been playing around so it's not a definitive answer but my Ubuntu, 
Arch, Fedora, and Mint boxes all show kvm loaded. I do have a openSUSE 
Leap 16 instance in a VM on the Fedora box that I haven't messed with and 
it also shows kvm loaded. 

lsmod on the Pi does not show it although 'modinfo kvm' shows it as a 
builtin. That might be a Pi kernel tweak.
