Please don't. There's a series by Marcel on the list converting those PC
macros to QOM. You already have a QOM sPAPR machine, so you should just
derive new legacy types as needed and override things there.

Also, -machine *is* the global mechanism we have to tell QEMU which
version you want, it's a shorthand for setting a list of global
properties. Don't forget that QEMU can be used without libvirt, so the
knowledge of which properties to set for which version is kept in QEMU.

Cheers,
Andreas
