Since commit cbe6d6365a48 the command `qemu -accel help` returns
the list of accelerators enabled in the QEMU binary. This adds
the list_accel() method which return that same list.

Ahh here it is. So I guess either mention the fact we will be using it
in the previous commit or bring it in here when we do use it.

I see we use LOG.debug for a bunch of failure reasons but surely
LOG.error is the more correct level for something that failed? I guess
it doesn't matter as we don't mess with the levels.
