I think same applies to v3 that I reviewed right?
Absolutely, I'm fine with just a new machine type.
This means that management tools will need to learn to
add -qemu-kvm suffix to the machine name if user
requested compatibility with qemu-kvm.
I think there were some implementation issues with patch 1/2
though.
