Looks like this was the only issue with this patchset. So
I propose to take this into my target-arm queue for 8.2,
with the following doc comment added:

/**
 * kvm_arch_get_default_type: Return default KVM type
 * @ms: MachineState of the VM being created
 *
 * Return the default type argument to use in the
 * KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl when creating the VM. This will
 * only be used when the machine model did not specify a
 * type to use via the MachineClass::kvm_type method.
 *
 * Returns: type to use, or a negative value on error.
 */

unless anybody wants more time for review or for this
series to go into the tree some other way.

thanks
