Hang on a second! v2 of this patch DID use a new virtual machine,

wanting a machine parameter instead! It's far easier with a new
machine type, and I'd far prefer a new machine type.
If you were just objecting to the fact that pc-1.0 was made to
be an alias of either one or the other at compile time, simply
drop the second patch of the v2 patchset.
I think same applies to v3 that I reviewed right?
Absolutely, I'm fine with just a new machine type.
This means that management tools will need to learn to
add -qemu-kvm suffix to the machine name if user
requested compatibility with qemu-kvm.
I think there were some implementation issues with patch 1/2
though.
If we have a new machine type, I don't /think/ I need the
early_init
thing at all (I may be wrong about that).
Good.
