We end up not being able to predict what does pc-1.0 reference. Users also don't get qemu from git so I don't see why does git make sense in the name? Legacy management applications invoked qemu as qemu-kvm - how about detecting that name and switching the machine types?

It might make sense to also set -enable-kvm and change default CPU to kvm64 in this case.
