There are definitely usecases for qemu.conf (iqn/username/password
tuples for libiscsi, globally disabling KSM or memory dumps, globally
enabling timestamps).  Not that anyone's using it, but I would leave it
alone.

However, I don't think target-x86_64.conf would be missed, and it's
traditionally been something that is "owned by the package" (because the
CPU models were there) so we should be able to treat it as private.
