I asked about q35 as the default on qemu-devel, Paolo indicated there are still some migration issues with AHCI: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-06/msg00019.html So similar to what I suggested elsewhere in this thread, I stuck an option to change from i440FX to q35 in the 'customize before install' dialog. If q35 is selected, we display a warning that basically says 'only use this if you know what you are doing'.
