As of May 7 2021, rhel-8 will be out for two years, which means we no
longer have to support rhel-7 ancient qemu.
QEMU versions in our supported distros:
RHEL-8: 2.12
Debian Stable: 3.1
OpenSuse LEAP 15.0 (SLES15 GA): 2.11
OpenSuse LEAP 15.2: 4.2
Ubuntu (Bionic): 2.11
Ubuntu (Focal): 4.2
This means we can bring up the minimum supported version to 2.11.
