+          qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'none'
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          Historically, libvirt would add a default 'cirrus' video device to
+          a guest if the XML specified 'graphics' but lacked 'video'. This can
+          be incovenient with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the only
+          rendering devices within the guest, rather than still relying on an
+          emulated GPU which would also be the primary device. Having a 'none'
+          model is our only backwards compatible option how to turn this legacy
+          behaviour off when needed.
