Yeah, I tried tried with `virsh edit` and it tells me xml doesn't
confirm to schema.

Yeah but even if it's resolved in libvirt, we'd still want to have a
work around for older libvirt.

Both 'arch' and 'machine' are separate attributes on the 'type' node
but "bar" is an attribute of "rom" node, that I think is unlikely to
be used in isolation. If we keep this API, I think I should change
'rom' to be nullable. I see your point though and I don't have hard
feeling either way.
