Existing libvirt behaviour is that we'll pick the first reported machine
type, so we have to preserve that.
Right, makes sense.
I guess with aarch64/virt first and x86_64/q35 now it won't take
too long for applications to figure out they should specify the
machine type explicitly rather than leaving that up to libvirt :)
