Right, nowadays qemu defaults to cirrus regardless of the arch which is
annoying. In fact it even creates a vga card with -nographic, you have
to do -vga none to avoid it which is even more annoying for us :-)

That's an area where we want less stupid global magic in vl.c and more
fine tunes arch control.
