Ouch, you were too fast! ;)

There is something I wanted to clarify with Laszlo: is
virtio-gpu-pci ever going to be usable on other architectures
such as x86_64? Maybe it already is? Because if that's the
case, we'll want to be able to choose between virtio-vga and
virtio-gpu-pci.

One solution would be to keep mapping model='virtio' to
virtio-vga and create a new model='virtio-gpu' that maps to
virtio-gpu-pci, then forbid aarch64 mach-virt guests to use
model='virtio'. Or something like that, I'm not married to
the idea, I just think it's something we should definitely
think about before this ends up in a release.
