Hi
I see in the following change, Dan added the default machine types for
all architectures:
https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=26cfb1a3
("qemu: ensure default machine types don't change if QEMU changes")
What caught my eye was the default machine type chosen ("integratorcp")
for ARM / AAarch64:
+ [VIR_ARCH_ARMV7L] = "integratorcp",
+ [VIR_ARCH_ARMV7B] = "integratorcp",
+
+ [VIR_ARCH_AARCH64] = "integratorcp",
I thought the default for AArch64 / ARM would be 'virt'---as I learnt
that upstream QEMU explicitly designed the 'virt' board for ARM /
AArch64-based machine machines (because it supports PCI, 'virtio', has
decent RAM limits, etc.)
So, shouldn't the default for the above be changed from "integratorcp"
to "virt"?
PS: I thought "integratorcp" board was picked as it was probably the
first entry when you run `qemu-system-aarch64 -machine help`, but
that wasn't the case on my Fedora-28 machine---it was the 12th
entry.
