This is arguably true of quite alot of other config options too. We can't
determine whether anything is truely supported though until we actually
run the QEMU emulator and ask for its supported args. I'm not sure this is
necessarily right todo at define time, because we'd need to have this error
checking code here anyway and I think its better not to duplicate it in
two places.
