Also it's slowly bit-rots (for example: I was able to boot RHEL6 on RHEL9 host
in only TCG mode, while in KVM mode it hung in the middle of boot)

I'm quite opposed to this patch. QEMU models various very-old /
defunct hardware. I'm pretty sure Bernhard and myself are OK to
keep maintaining it, besides we are working in separating it from
the i440fx+piix machine. Also, this machine is particularly
interesting for my single-binary experiments.

Where I agree is we should stop reporting "KVM on ISA/PC machine"
as supported.
