The conflicts are in "hw/hppa/Kconfig" and "hw/i386/Kconfig". In the former, the conflict is due to E1000_PCI, in the latter, the conflict occurs due to VGA_PCI -- upstream doesn't seem to have either of those. Thanks Laszlo

(If the answer is "never for any new board", that's useful to say.) thanks -- PMM

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-vga: only enable for specific boards
When virtio-vga was added, the intention was to only support it for those machines where the firmware does not know about virtio-gpu, and supported VGA legacy hardware before virtio-{gpu,vga} were introduced. The Kconfig switch however enabled virtio-vga for all machines with a PCI bus, and libvirt then prefers it even on hardware where virtio-gpu would be preferrable. At least for now, only enable virtio-vga for PC, hppa and pSeries machines, as was the case before Kconfig dependencies were introduced.
