Historically ACPI was controled via '-no-acpi' which is issued when you don't use the '<acpi/>' feature element in the definition. Also historically it was only used on x86. With development of the 'virt' machine type for arm which does use acpi this was un-carefully extended to aarch64 as well where it didn't work with non-virt machines. Now with the latest qemu which reports which machine type actually support ACPI we avoid use of '-no-acpi' for those which don't support it. Unfortunately the workaround of adding <acpi/> element to definition for a machine which doesn't have it doesn't work either, because a further validation check forces you to configure uefi if you want acpi.
