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.

Rough plan is to extract 'isapc' machine from PCMachineClass,
having the latter becoming smth like PcPciMachineClass, on
