In qemu-0.11 there is a 'pc-0.10' machine type which allows you to run guests with a machine which is compatible with the pc machine in qemu-0.10 - e.g. using the original PCI class for virtio-blk and virtio-console and disabling MSI support in virtio-net. The idea here is that we don't want to surprise guests by changing the hardware when qemu is updated.
I've just posted some patches for qemu-0.11 which allows libvirt to canonicalize the 'pc' machine alias to the latest machine version.
qemu-devel archives take a while to refresh, here's the link to the patches: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-07/msg01652.html Cheers, Mark.
