this page suggests some commands to check: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1115446-start-0.html

some have lots of output, but these two caught my eye:
Code: 
deb12xfce@deb12xfce ~> lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel             380928  0
kvm                  1146880  1 kvm_intel

      <baselabel type='kvm'>+64055:+64055</baselabel>
      <baselabel type='qemu'>+64055:+64055</baselabel>
 


this one seems quick and easy to check as well:

I believed there was no hope to fix that error,but watching the output below,some hopes came back.

Focus here. This is the problem :

virsh domcapabilities --machine virt --emulatorbin /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm

error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: KVM is not supported on this platform: Function not implemented
 
There is a good news. I hadn't added my user account to the kvm group :) ; now I did it and the error changed :

Code: 
root@chromarietto:~#  virsh domcapabilities --machine virt --emulatorbin /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm

this makes it sound like kvm is available for x86* only. from: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).

use the word focus all you like, that doesn't change what seems to be a hardware incompatiblity with kvm itself:

i.e. is your system x86?
 
You forgot this part on the error : error : virHostCPUGetKVMMaxVCPUs:1228.

But no,the ARM chromebook runs on arm 32 bit.
