Why having separate QEMU binaries would help?  We still need to
define and document what will happen when both the machine-type
and the QEMU binary are omitted in the domain XML.

Personally I prefer to document this as "we recommend you always
specify the machine-type" instead of "we recommend you always
specify the QEMU binary path".
