Well q35 is not yet 100% ready.
I'm looking for some way in which we can signal libvirt
and other users when it's ready, while merging
some bits to reduce the maintainance load of maintaining

The point was to hide it from libvirt.
libvirt should support pc-q35 not pc-q35-experimental, then
it will not cause trouble.
