I dont think it really belongs with MachineInfo, as it is a device
property. The issue is really that QEMU has a class hierarchy, but
the QMP device info flattens this, to avoid exposing the existance
of the class hierarchy for devices.

Any improved error checking in QEMU is welcome if i detects configs
that cannot possibly work due to missing support, as libvirt doesn't
really want to check every possible scenario itself.
