Actually it is more than not tested. CentOS 7 is explicitly
unsupported per our platform support matrix:

https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/about/build-platforms.html

and thus we will *intentionally* delete backwards compatibility code
that it needs, in order to simplify QEMU's codebase.

We explicitly do NOT want to add this kind of back compat code
for unsupported platforms.
