I installed KVM on ubuntu 16.04 and when I run virt manager it shows this message:
Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly

You either haven't installed qemu-kvm or you don't have virtualization enabled from BIOS.
Run this to make sure that you have KVM modules installed:
sudo apt-get install kvm qemu
And run this to make sure you have virtualization enabled from BIOS (If you don't then enable that):
grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
apt install qemu-kvm
worked. On AMD Rizen 1700, the grep for vmx did not work. In /proc/cpuinfo, vmx is for Intel, smx is for AMD. The grep command should be: grep "vmx\|svm" /proc/cpuinfo

Package kvm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
