I'm a bit conflicted about this one: on one hand, unlike Debian 8

hacks to maintain; on the other hand, perhaps the reason why we still
claim we can build almost all projects on it is because we don't
actually run any build on it, either on CentOS CI or on Travis CI :D
Anyway: here are the patches, let's see what other people think.
On the other (other!) hand, with Debian 8 out of the picture dropping
Ubuntu 16.04 would mean the oldest QEMU version we'd have to support
would be 2.8 rather than 2.5, which would probably result in slightly
more dead code being eligible for removal. I'd be okay with that.
