You might want to check our advice on how to pick a machine type for Arm: 
https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/ARM#Guidelines_for_choosing_a_QEMU_machine
Basically we suggest 'virt' unless you have a strong reason for wanting to 
emulate something else.

NB that we don't support PCI in our vexpress model (this is one reason
we don't recommend it, it makes it a bit inflexible).

Title:
  vexpress-a9 (but not -a15) creates two pl111 LCDs due to duplicate
  sysbus_create_simple("pl111", ...) calls

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Just a small report that (12ec8bd is current master)

  https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/12ec8bd/hw/arm/vexpress.c#L652:

    ...
    vexpress_common_init() {
      ...
      sysbus_create_simple("pl111", map[VE_CLCD], pic[14]);
      ...
    ...

  and

  https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/12ec8bd/hw/arm/vexpress.c#L304:

    ...
    a9_daughterboard_init() {
      ...
      sysbus_create_simple("pl111", 0x10020000, pic[44]);
      ...
    ...

  result in two LCD panels when using vexpress-a9.

  vexpress-a15 does not appear to be affected (my -a9 kernel does not
  work with it, but I see only one pl111 created).

  Understandably (but still annoyingly), -nodefaults has no effect.

  This bug is most evident when using SDL (so I can use ",frame=off"),
  which dumps two top-level windows onto the screen. GTK hides this
  because, coincidentally, the pl111 that ends up being used is the one
  that is selected (possibly the one created last?), relegating this to
  an obscure glitch only noticeable if you scrutinize the menu.

  This is a bugreport as opposed to a pull request as I have no idea
  which call to remove - and complete ignorance of the potential
  housekeeping and consideration that may be warranted first.

  FWIW, a simple testcase can be made with the vmlinuz from
  https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armhf/ and

  qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress
  -nodefaults -sdl

  Thanks!
