In qemu-0.11 there is a 'pc-0.10' machine type which allows

virtio-console and disabling MSI support in virtio-net. The idea here
is that we don't want to surprise guests by changing the hardware when
qemu is updated.
I've just posted some patches for qemu-0.11 which allows libvirt to
canonicalize the 'pc' machine alias to the latest machine version.
qemu-devel archives take a while to refresh, here's the link to the
patches:
