having property doesn't really help here and we don't do it for every
compat tweak /ex: save_tsc_khz, linuxboot_dma_enabled/.
Management would not benefit much from having property vs machine version
as it would have to encode somewhere that for w2k it should set
some machine property or pick a particular machine type.
Probably no one would worry about fixing virt-install or something
else for the sake of w2k and if they are going to fix it
it doesn't matter if they map machine type vs property.
Also with new machine type deprecation policy we would be able
easily to phase out rev1 support along with 2.9 machine,
but if you expose property then removing it would break
CLI not only for 2.9 but possible later machines if it's set there.
So I'm against adding properties/CLI options for unless we have to in this case,
and I'm not convinced that w2k deserves it.
