+          qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'none'

+        <description>
+          Historically, libvirt would add a default 'cirrus' video device to
+          a guest if the XML specified 'graphics' but lacked 'video'.

Historical behavior is hardly news :P

This can
+          be incovenient with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the only
+          rendering devices within the guest, rather than still relying on an
+          emulated GPU which would also be the primary device. Having a 'none'
+          model is our only backwards compatible option how to turn this legacy
+          behaviour off when needed.

How about:

Introduce a new video model type that disables the automatic addition of
a video device to domains with 'graphics' specified in their XML.

This can be useful with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the only
rendering devices within the guest.
