It is good enough to start off with. Better to not report it where
it can be supported, than to mistakenly report it when it cannot
be supported, as the latter leads to install failures.

IMHO the issue combining q35 with virtio 0.9 should be handled by
looking at the supported devices.
ie if the OS reports q35 support, but does *not* support virtio-1.0-xxxx
device support, then the app should not use q35.
This allows the app to decide to use q35 if they know they are going
to use non-virtio devices.
What I think is missing here though is the explicit reporting of
i440fx support.
By not including i440fx info here we are forcing apps to use
the lack of info as meaning i440fx. This means that when new
OS are released, until we add info on that new OS, the app
is going to fallback to i440fx. This is undesirable - we want
mgmt apps to fallback to q35 on the basis that new OS should
get the new chipset if nothing is known.
