I'm not terribly keen on seeing support for microvm officially
introduced in libvirt.
AFAIK nobody ever asked for it, and given that the intended use case
for the machine type is specifically to have incredibly minimal, fast
booting VMs, to the extent where trimmed out kernels and even custom
firmware implementations are employed to shave every last possible
microsecond off the boot time, I really don't expect that anyone
would ever consider using libvirt to manage them.
In other words, I think we should just keep pretending they don't
exist and save a bit of code/complexity.
