So it's isa-pvpanic meaning "I-am-sure-this-is-the-last-bug-pvpanic"
More like "we tested pvpanic for more than 2 weeks and did not find
anything that's utterly broken in the design".
And more practically "you are sure there are no traces of builtin
pvpanic; also, panicked state is reversible".

If we feel there's need to give libvirt a way to do
introspection into QEMU bugs, let's architect one.
Randomly renaming devices in the vain hope it's
the last major bug is not it.
